Journal Article
Ndukwe Agbai, D., & Wilson, P. (2018). Analysis of the inherent energy-food dilemma of the Nigerian Biofuels Policy using Partial Equilibrium Model: the Nigerian Energy-Food Model (NEFM). Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 98, 500-514. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2018.09.043

The Nigerian government plans to produce bioethanol from its staple food crops to increase transport fuel supply, reduce imported motors fuels, create jobs and diversify its oil dependent economy. However, the conflicts between the benefits of biofue...

Metrics and methods for characterizing dairy farm intensification using farm survey data (2018)
Journal Article
Gonzalez-Mejia, A., Styles, D., Wilson, P., & Gibbons, J. (2018). Metrics and methods for characterizing dairy farm intensification using farm survey data. PLoS ONE, 13(5), Article e0195286. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0195286

Evaluation of the sustainability of intensification requires comprehensive analysis of trends in farm performance across physical and socio-economic aspects, which may diverge across farm types. Typical reporting of economic indicators at sectorial o... Read More about Metrics and methods for characterizing dairy farm intensification using farm survey data.

Measuring sustainable intensification: combining composite indicators and efficiency analysis to account for positive externalities in cereal production (2018)
Journal Article
Areal, F. J., Jones, P. J., Mortimer, S. R., & Wilson, P. (2018). Measuring sustainable intensification: combining composite indicators and efficiency analysis to account for positive externalities in cereal production. Land Use Policy, 75, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landusepol.2018.04.001

We combine the use of a stochastic frontier analysis framework and composite indicators for farm provision of environmental goods to obtain a farm level composite indicator reflecting sustainable intensification. The novel sustainable intensification...

Integrating the economic and environmental performance of agricultural systems: a demonstration using Farm Business Survey data and Farmscoper (2018)
Journal Article
Lynch, J., Skirvin, D., Wilson, P., & Ramsden, S. (in press). Integrating the economic and environmental performance of agricultural systems: a demonstration using Farm Business Survey data and Farmscoper. Science of the Total Environment, 628-629, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.01.256

There is a continued need to monitor the environmental impacts of agricultural systems while also ensuring sufficient agricultural production. However, it can be difficult to collect relevant environmental data on a large enough number of farms and s...
