📢 #LAMASUS_EU proudly announce that LAMASUS researcher Felicity Addo from International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) received the ÖGA (Austrian Association of Agricultural Economics) Award for the Best Dissertation 🏆 ! Felicity wrote a thesis on "Assessing Productivity and Efficiency, and its Determinants: The Case of Crop Farms 🌾 in Austria" Austrian crop farms face unique challenges due to small size and natural disadvantages. Felicity´s thesis delves into the technical efficiency of these farms, revealing that while persistent efficiency is improving, transient inefficiencies remain a significant hurdle. 🌱 Part-time farms tend to be more scale-efficient than full-time farms, and factors like farm size, specialization, and access to resources are key to success. 📊 With technological progress driving the sector forward, it's crucial for farmers to adapt and grow to remain competitive in the long term. Felicity´s current scientific interests include agricultural production systems and value chains, food security, sustainable rural development, micro-economic modeling, and agricultural resource management and efficiency. #landuse #landusemodelling #agriculture #sustainablefarming #Agriculture #FarmEfficiency #AustriaFarming
