Measuring the Economic Performance of Small Ruminant Farms Using Balanced Scorecard and Importance-Performance Analysis: A European Case Study

A new paper arising from the EU Horizon 2020-funded iSAGE project, co-authored by ORC’s Stefano Orsini has been published in Sustainability Abstract Given the increasing complexity of the agro-food sector, the analysis of financial performance alone may not be sufficient to assess the economic sustainability of farmers. This paper presents a practical method to measure the performance of farm businesses by combining the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) theoretical framework and Importance–Performance Analysis (IPA). The proposed model ...

Exploring the impact of crop diversification on workload and quality of life of farmers

Crop diversification results in a fundamental change in activities: production, management, processing, crop sales and new relationships with the value chain all need to be re-assessed. The Organic Research Centre led an explorative study using three UK case studies and found that crop diversification results in changes in socio-economic factors, workload, labour organisation and quality of life. The study focused on the experiences of 17 farmers engaged in three UK case studies (case study 2, ...

Regenerative Agriculture: Farming with Benefits

A new book Regenerative Agriculture: Farming with Benefits by Marianne Landzettel is reviewed by ORC’s Senior Agroforestry Researcher Colin Tosh. I approached the book with a few misgivings. The cover said ‘textbook’ while the text and pictures said ‘travelogue’. Diving deeper revealed that is a bit of both. Many of the topics you would expect to find in a regenerative agriculture textbook are in there, but they are presented in an unconventional, personal, and accessible ...

UK organic Control Bodies recognised by EU but uncertainty remains

The EU Commission has approved a regulation to recognise all six of the UK organic Control Bodies as certifying to an equivalent EU standard until 31 December 2021, for the purpose of trade in organics. This will allow UK organic produce to continue to be traded across European markets next year, which would otherwise have been closed to the sector from 1 January 2021. This reciprocates the UK’s decision to do the same for the ...

European Consumers’ Willingness to Pay for Red Meat Labelling Attributes

New paper co-authored by ORC’s Stefano Orsini is published in Animals. Given the decrease in red meat consumption in the last decade, it is crucial for red meat producers to understand consumer preferences. This international study, part of the iSAGE project, analyses the European consumer preferences for red meat (beef, lamb and goat) in seven countries: Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Through a survey with hypothetical choice situations (choice experiment), ...

Join this webinar to hear from experienced growers about the practical considerations, opportunities and pitfalls of agroforestry in organic horticulture. Ben Raskin is head of horticulture ...
