“…Their 1991 publication De la justification (English translation published in 2006) was one of the fu-st significant studies of the conventions school, and has also proven useful for studies in the agrifood sector (eg. Rosin and Campbell, 2009;Sage and Goldberger, 2012). The six 'worlds of justification' they elaborate in this work are presented in table 1 and show different perspectives or positions from which one can justify the 'right' kind of action.…”

Monitoring and tracing product and process qualities along global suppiy chains have become increasingly challenging tasks for companies at the downstream end of the chain. High levels of uncertainty in trade coordination arise among importing companies in the face of these developments. The conceptual aim of this paper is to show, by the example of organic food imports to Germany and Australia, how convention theory can contribute to the analysis of trade coordination in global value chains. Our empirical results affirm that industrial conventions such as standards and third-party certification have gained increasing significance over the past two decades. Simultaneously, however, we argue that industrial conventions are not enough to overcome uncertainties in trade. They do not necessarily lead to reduced differences in perceptions of product quality between suppliers and importers. Less tangible factors such as trust established through relationship management and reputation are likewise significant. Furthermore, not only companies with a certain ideological tradition, but also individual people with altruistic motives within other types of firms, can determine how 'dedicated' a firm is in pushing trade coordination according to civic and domestic conventions. Market conventions (ie, the importance of price and competitiveness) are stressed more by Australian firms refiecting the country's liberal market economy and low state subsidies especially in the area of agriculture. Finally, compromises between conventions are sometimes necessary to end a situation of confiict between buyer and supplier.

“…Evans (2011) discusses the conventions that inform the consumption patterns of 'ecological citizens'. Buying and consuming organic food is a main goal for such consumers, but a number of articles (Rosin 2008;Truninger 2008;Rosin & Campbell 2009;Clarisse 2012;Sage & Goldberger 2012) highlight its potential to meet consumers' expectations also in the civic and domestic orders of worth -that is, beyond the purely ecological domain. For example, Kirwan (2006) contends that farmers' markets are a good example of the power of civic and domestic conventions to constitute new spaces for producer-consumer interaction based on trust, regard, and reciprocity.…”

“…GWR calculates individual regression coefficients for the relationships between two variables at each location in a region. Analyses of agricultural production using GWR are quite widespread in recent years due to the proliferation of data generation for geographic information systems (Farrow et al 2005;Tu 2011;Sage & Goldberger 2012;Su et al 2012;Yang et al 2013;Gocer 2014;Manca et al 2014;Sang et al 2014;Huang et al 2015).…”

“…In some regions, the opportunity to engage in organic agriculture has already been lost due to this differentiation. Sage & Goldberger (2012) studied the role of geographical effects on the productivity of organic agriculture. In this study, the GWR technique was preferred as the area had a spatial non-stationary property.…”

The main aim of this paper is to address the question of why native cattle were shifted from native breeds to cultured and cross-breed cattle from 2000 to 2010 and to examine whether milk yield played role in those shifts. In this paper, how milk yield influences cattle production is characterized by taking into account the contribution of local geographical relationships and variations. This paper is motivated by the concern that total number of native cattle has decreased most alarmingly in Turkey. Sustainable dairy farm systems are inextricably linked with high milk yield culture cattle imported from European countries. High milk yield has become the indicator that possesses the spillover effect for the development of cattle production. The high milk yield that is abused by culture cattle systems has led to a general increase in cattle production, especially in the west and middle-south of Turkey where farmers are relatively richer.Özet: Bu makalenin temel amacı 2000-2010 arasındaki dönemde, yerli sığır yetiştiriciliğinden kültür ve melez sığırlara geçişin nedenlerinin ve geçişte süt verimliliğinin rolünün olup olmadığının saptanmasıdır. Bu çalışmada süt verimliliğinin sığır üretimini nasıl etkilediği yerel coğrafi ilişkiler ve varyasyonlar dikkate alınarak karakterize edilmiştir. Türkiye'de yerli sığırların sayılarındaki belirleyici azalma, çalışmanın temel motivasyonu olmuştur. Sürdürülebilir süt çiftlik sistemleri Avrupa ülkelerinden ithal edilen ve yüksek süt verimliliği olan kültür sığırları ile sıkı ilişki içindedir. Yüksek süt verimliliği sığır üretiminin gelişmesinde ayırdedici bir yayılma etkisine sahiptir. Türkiye'nin doğusu ve batısı süt verimliliği açısından oldukça farklılık göstermiştir. Kültür sığır yetiştiriciliği tarafından suiistimal edilmiş olan yüksek süt verimi, özelikle çiftçilerin oransal olarak daha zengin olduğu Batı ve Orta-Güney Türkiye'de sığır üretiminde genel bir artışa neden olmuştur.Anahtar kelimeler: Süt çiftliği sistemleri; süt verimliliği, sürdürülebilir hayvancılık sistemleri, coğrafi ağırlıklı regresyon, coğrafi bilgi sistemleri
