Causes of diversification in agriculture over time: evidence from Norwegian farming sector.

摘要: Farm planning generally focuses on optimal diversification with respect to risk and uncertainties, where the risk-management strategies combine production, marketing, financial environmental responses of production farm firm. In this study an empirical examination has been carried out from a sample farms in Eastern Norway which four measures (indices) were defined incorporate uncertainties relation (total) income. Using these alternative panel-data techniques, it shown that larger are more diversified, when there is productive location access labour farmers have greater incentive spread risk. These results suggest size positively linked may not be sufficient economies scale warrant specialisation. Alternatively, specialisation environmentally desirable because soil water pollution caused by large farming systems usually practised most developed countries like Norway. Hence, can used as strategy for managing less diversified systems, well related
