农业可持续性评估:波罗的海国家案例研究

农业食品部门是世界上最大的经济部门，对环境的影响最大。联合国粮食及农业组织(粮农组织)认为，可持续农业必须满足今世后代的需要，同时确保盈利能力、环境健康以及社会和经济公平。因此，农业系统需要转型以变得更具可持续性。在农业中使用可再生能源可以降低能源成本和温室气体排放，并实现循环经济原则。农业可持续性评估可以通过应用各种指标来完成。农业可持续性评价可以从国家和微观两个层面进行。本文提出了基于指标框架的波罗的海国家农业可持续性评估，并应用MCDA工具对波罗的海国家进行农业可持续性排名。

期刊介绍： The mission of the Contemporary Economics is to publish advanced theoretical and empirical research in economics, finance, accounting and management with the noticeable contribution and impact to the development of those disciplines and preferably with practice relevancies. All entirety of methods is desirable, including a falsification of conventional understanding, theory building through inductive or qualitative research, first empirical testing of a theory, meta-analysis with theoretical implications, constructive replication that clarifies the boundaries or range of a theory for theoretical research as well as qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, meta-analytic, and combination for an empirical research. This clear priority for comprehensive manuscripts containing a methodology-based theoretical and empirical research with implications and recommendations for policymaking does not exclude manuscripts entirely focused on theory or methodology. Manuscripts that raise significant, actual topics of international relevance will be highly appreciated. The interdisciplinary approach including – besides economic, financial, accounting or managerial –also other aspects, is welcomed.
