Techno-Economic Assessment of Rice Seedling-Raising Trays in Northern Iran

Alireza Allameh

New Countryside · 42-52 · 10.55121/nc.v5i1.440

Mechanized rice transplanting has become an essential practice in modern rice cultivation due to its economic advantages, reduced labor requirements, and shorter operation time compared with manual transplanting. However, successful mechanized transplanting depends on the provision of high-quality mat-type seedlings, which are p

New Countryside · 8-16 · 10.55121/nc.v3i1.126

The giant honeybees (Apis dorsata) plays an important role as pollinators, which are vital in plant reproduction. They help the forest and perennial crops by mediating speciation, promoting genetic diversity, and contributing to ecosystem stability. They live in large colonies with vertical comb and commonly make nests in natura

Agri-Food Supply Chains and Rural Revitalization: Implications for Land Use and Regional Development in Ghana

Hanson Obiri-Yeboah, Michael Odamtten, Daniel Antwi, Emelia Dede Nartey, Josephine Eshun

New Countryside · 66-80 · 10.55121/nc.v5i2.1123

Agri-food supply chains play a critical role in shaping rural revitalization, land use, and regional development, particularly in agrarian economies where livelihoods are closely tied to land-based production systems. However, limited empirical research has examined how supply chain structures influence land use and regional dev

New Countryside · 40-55 · 10.55121/nc.v3i2.187

In the past decade the land market in Eastern Germany was characterized by a relatively high level of land mobility and severe land price hikes. Land prices in individual regions differ considerably, however. This paper has examined whether obtaining a higher sales price for a utilised agricultural area in particular bounds has
