Increasing farm size to improve energy use efficiency and sustainability in maize production

Increasing farm size to improve energy use efficiency and sustainability in maize production

While the relationship between crop yields and the environmental impacts of crop agriculture has been well-documented, research on the relationship between farm size and the sustainability of cereal production is limited. Using survey data on 120 farms with both small- and large-scale fields in Nort...
