“…17,000) that produce milk mainly for exports. Moreover, in the absence of quota, land is the most scarce production factor, hence increasing dairy cow numbers on an existing land base is a common expansion strategy in both countries (Boere et al ., ; Läpple et al ., ). That is, optimal land use is an important decision problem for dairy farmers and policymakers alike, which is constrained by environmental regulations.…”

Summary The milk quota abolition in 2015 set in motion major adjustments in the EU dairy sector and considerable differences in expansion and contraction of milk production are observed across Member States. Despite significant differences in production methods, Ireland and the Netherlands are among the EU countries that achieved the largest dairy production growth rates. This article compares and contrasts Irish and Dutch dairy farms that intensified and expanded production. To this end, Farm Accountancy Data Network data of specialised dairy farms are used and Principal Component Analysis was performed with a view to assessing common themes and differences in intensification efforts. In both countries, farms that intensified their production have higher gross investments and larger dairy herds, when compared to the average dairy farm in their country. The Principal Component Analysis revealed farm size variables, dairy specialisation and direct payments, as well as investments and financial leverage as common themes of intensification, with differing importance in the two countries. Implications of intensification for policies to ensure longer‐term sustainability are discussed.

There is a long-standing debate about the nature, impact and significance of processes of differentiation in driving agricultural development. This contribution discusses three ways in which such processes have been conceptualized: modernization theories that put markets centre stage, Marxist theories that focus on class, and Chayanovian approaches that highlight the dynamics within farming families. The empirical evidence for testing these concepts is normally derived from agricultural censuses. This paper uses a different database that covers all Dutch farms between 1980 and 2006 and enables us to follow the changes on individual farms. Examination of this data reveals that the actual processes of differentiation that have occurred in this 25-year period differ greatly from the classic conceptualizations. It also challenges the conventional wisdom that agricultural development is mostly driven by larger farms.

“…Dutch dairy farms are the most regulated farm type and are subject to frequent policy changes, such as obligatory manure processing and the abolition of the milk quota system (Boere et al, 2015;Jongeneel et al, 2010;Samson, Gardebroek and Jongeneel, 2017). These regulations and policy changes may increase the need for cash, either to comply with the regulations or to expand to meet the expected increase in milk demand after the abolition of the quota.…”

'Can an Ethiopian change his skin, or a leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil' Jeremiah 13:23 I believe luck is a plot where opportunity meets preparation. In that sense, I'm the luckiest person on earth. If this is to be called a success in any form, and I look taller than yesterday, it is only because I stand on the shoulder of so many great friends, families, and colleagues. I'm so happy that I got to write this part for I have so many people to thank who have helped me all the way through and wouldn't be here, otherwise. First and foremost, praises and thanks to the mother of Jesus Christ, Virgin Mary, for giving me the strength and the showers of blessings throughout my life. My exceptional tribute goes to my Ph.D. supervisors, Professor Joost M.E. Pennings and Andres-Trujillo Barrera. Joost has been supportive and given me the freedom to pursue various projects. He is as passionate and enthusiastic about research and publication as I met him for the first time at Wageningen University in 2011. I hope that I could be as lively, energetic and passionate as you, and to someday be able to command an audience as well as you can. The progress report I must submit every Friday kept me in track [there were times I want to cry so much when I write those reports]. Your 'hello Addy my friend' whenever you pass by my office serves both as a greeting and a reminder of something I have to finish and email it to you; your discontentment with me for not being able to shoot [aim] high and desire to settle for less, reminds me of my father and always motivates me; and your 'does this ring a bell to you, Addy?' reminds me how much more I have to read. I am grateful for the opportunity you gave me. Andres has been a true support, very easy to talk to and gives much attention to the details. Every time I forget to address the comments he made, he has always a very diplomatic way of reminding me not to forget it again [this could happen a dozen times in one project]. I am grateful for your support, sharing yo...
