| dc.description.abstract | The 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. | pt_PT |
