Fruit and vegetables play a crucial role in ensuring food and nutrition security, and developing more sustainable value chains in agriculture and the agri-food sector. To support a greater supply of fruit and vegetables, small farmers’ production is fundamental and needs to be integrated into stable value chains to maintain market, logistics and qu...

Source appointment and control of water pollution caused by nitrate in river are the key to water quality management as well as the basis for achieving aquatic environment sustainability. However, the effects of clean energy production (hydropower generation) and urbanization on the nitrate accumulation and transformation remain unclear. For that, ...
We propose a fully nonparametric framework to test to what extent technological change is factor-biased and heterogeneous. We show in a Monte Carlo simulation that our framework resolves the endogeneity issue between productivity and input choice and provides accurate estimates of firm-specific biases. For all Belgian manufacturing industries analy...

The abundance and size distribution of plankton in the surface ocean are key metrics to understanding primary and export production, food web dynamics, and the optical properties of the water column. Here we quantified cell size and abundance of phytoplankton species from mono-specific laboratory cultures, using optical, electrical, and image-based...
