- Agricultural Policy: A Driver for Structural and Technological ChangePublication . Martinho, VítorThis book gives insights into the agricultural policies in several countries located in different continents. It is of interest to students, researchers, and policy and decision makers. Given the particularities of agriculture, agricultural policies are indispensable for an adjusted development of farms according to the strategic objectives of each country, namely the socio-economic and environmental ones. The question that often arises is whether the practical effects of the various policy measures are in accordance with their design and what is the effect of these policy instruments among many other causes of structural and technological change. The aim of this book is to describe the main agricultural policies that have been implemented in countries such as the United States of America, Brazil, China, India, South Africa, Australia, as well as the European Union. It also aims to analyse the real impact of these policies on the structural and technological changes of farms in the European Union. As its methodology, the book considers bibliometric analysis, literature review and statistical approaches.
- Bee health field toolPublication . Raimets, Risto; Karise, Reet; Costa, Cristina Amaro; Gaião, Davide; Oliveira, Jorge; Coelho, Catarina; Dahle, Bjorn; Oddie, MelissaThe Bee health field tool (related with the most important and actual technical constraint in beekeeping are the technical features related with bee diseases and nutrition) was developed in a format that can be easily used in the field by all beekeepers, independent of their background, using an innovative learning strategy - gamification – that provides an effective, informal learning environment, and helps learners practice real-life situations and challenges in a safe environment. The Bee health field is part of the contents of the MOOC course curriculum allowing to achieve a training skill and specialization in bee health and nutrition. The expected impact is related with the possibility of enabling beekeepers to acquire the best and innovative beekeeping techniques and skills in this area of the production itinerary. This knowledge and skills are essential for the professionalization of beekeepers as the survival of the bees is compromised by the pressures related with these issues. Furthermore, the Bee health is the main factor for improving the beekeeping performance and for increasing the production and quality of the bee products in order to achieve adequate economic profits. It is also expected to have an impact in the active learning sector, by the development and use of gamifications as training tool.

- Economics of Tourism in Portugal: Impacts of the COVID-19 PandemicPublication . Martinho, VítorTaking into account the current world conditions and the importance of the tourism sector for the Portuguese economy, the main objective of this book is to highlight the economic contexts of tourism in Portugal at regional and municipal levels, namely presenting the frameworks before the Covid-19 pandemic and discussing the main implications for the future. To this purpose, economic dynamics are described for each of the dimensions of tourism in the Portuguese reality. From these frameworks, several discussions about future perspectives in these dimensions are presented.
- Energy Costs and Farm Characteristics in the European Union: Highlighting Linkages with Structural and Policy DimensionsPublication . Martinho, VítorThe relationships between energy costs in the agricultural sector, specifically in farms, and other structural characteristics and policy instruments are complex and involve several dimensions, but it is crucial to know them, namely to promote a more sustainable energy consumption and design more adjusted strategies. In fact, a deeper knowledge of the interrelationships between energy costs and other dimensions in the farming sector may bring relevant insights into a more efficient, more environmentally compatible and more competitive farming plan. Efficiency, competitiveness and agricultural policies are the buzzwords for a balanced energy use in agriculture. From this perspective, the main objective of this study is to explore the main interrelationships among energy costs in farms in the European Union (including the UK), over the period 2013-2018, and the following groups of indicators related to structures and policy measures: labour; farm area; outputs; inputs; investments; assets; taxes; and subsidies. These data were obtained from the European Union Farm Accountancy Data Network and were explored through descriptive approaches, Data Envelopment Analysis and factor-cluster assessment. A bibliometric analysis was, also, carried out about the issues addressed. The results obtained may provide relevant support for the several stakeholders, namely for European Union institutions and the governments of each member-state. In fact, it could be interesting, for example, to design more adjusted policy instruments which, in turn, promote more sustainable farms.
