Extreme weather events risk to crop-production and the adaptation of innovative management strategies to mitigate the risk: A retrospective survey of rural Punjab, Pakistan
TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of 1232 wheat growers from Pakistan, conducted in April and May of 2019, was used to estimate the production risk of wheat farms to weather shocks and the effectiveness of physical, non-physical, and innovative management strategies for reducing crop damages.

Application of an artificial neural network to optimise energy inputs: An energy- and cost-saving strategy for commercial poultry farms
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to find the best topology of the ANN model at a hidden layer consisting of 10 neurons, including the lowest mean absolute percentage error (14.42) and the highest R2 (0.79).

TL;DR: It is shown that tremendous progress could be made by halting agricultural expansion, closing ‘yield gaps’ on underperforming lands, increasing cropping efficiency, shifting diets and reducing waste, which could double food production while greatly reducing the environmental impacts of agriculture.
Book
Regression Analysis of Count Data
TL;DR: The authors combine theory and practice to make sophisticated methods of analysis accessible to researchers and practitioners working with widely different types of data and software in areas such as applied statistics, econometrics, marketing, operations research, actuarial studies, demography, biostatistics and quantitative social sciences.

The Struggle to Govern the Commons
TL;DR: Promising strategies for addressing critical problems of the environment include dialogue among interested parties, officials, and scientists; complex, redundant, and layered institutions; a mix of institutional types; and designs that facilitate experimentation, learning, and change.
Book
Negative Binomial Regression
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of risk in count response models and assess the performance of count models, including Poisson regression, negative binomial regression, and truncated count models.
