  • Elintarvikealan yrityksissä kertyvä biojäte ja sen hyödyntäminen Etelä-Savon ja Satakunnan alueella 
    Jauho, Jenny (2014)
    Biowaste is composed of food and garden waste, which can easily be utilized for energy and nutrient recovery. A part of biowaste, however, still goes to landfilling, which cause harmful emissions and leaks to the environment. This pro gradu study was carried out as a part of JaloJäte- project in Etelä- Savo and Satakunta. The purpose of JaloJäte- project was to develop models for biowaste exploitation with corporate social responsibility. The aim of my study was to examine if there was any correlation between the amount of biowaste as dry matter and the revenues of the food companies. My study also gives information on which food sector produces most amounts of biowaste amount as dry matter proportional to the revenues as euros of the food company. The utilization of biowaste is also reported in different food sectors. The method was empirical and the study qualitative. I collected the information for the study by phone and by emails from food companies from the years 2007 to the year 2009. I got 102 interviews from food companies. The results indicate that when the revenues as euros of the food companies grew the biowaste amount as dry matter decreased. According to the study agriculture with fishing and food industry sectors produce more biowaste as dry matter per euro than food stores and restaurants. The biowaste utilization varied in different food chain sectors. The most popular biowaste utilization forms were composting, direct field use and feeding animals. Others more marginal biowaste utilization forms were burning and rotting. Unfortunately a part of biowaste still goes into landfilling. This cannot continue for long, because placing biowaste into landfills will be forbidden from start of the year 2016. Hopefully this will change puplic opinion so that biowaste will be considered more as a useful byproduct than as waste. More researche is needed on biowaste utilization, so more effective and economical recycling forms can be develop.
  • Jatkajan iän yhteys maatilan kasvuun : empiirinen tutkimus maatilojen sukupolvenvaihdoksista 
    Pämppi, Roni (2019)
    The improvement of competitiveness in the agricultural sector of Finland requires faster development in productivity than that of competing countries. That can be achieved by questioning old work methods and developing new ones. Entrepreneurial farm management requires business skills and monitoring markets. Increase in farm size is a result of inefficient farms exiting the market and resources concentrating to a smaller group of continuing farms. Then they may get scale benefits and productivity increases. The main issue in this study was to investigate whether the age of the successor has a connection with farm growth after succession. Other explanatory factors of farm growth after succession were also investigated. The study was implemented as a regression analysis using inquiry data acquired by e-mail. The farms in the survey data grew notably faster than farms in the accountancy data of Natural Resources Institute Finland in the years 2012-2015. The investment rate of the farms was also especially high. Both discoveries support the results from earlier studies according to which the speed of development is connected to the rythm of succession. In the meantime most investments are made after the succession. A connection between the successors age and farm growth was found, although weaker than expected. Younger successors’ farms grew faster than older farmers’ farms during the following period. The distribution of farm size in the survey data was divided in terms of the successors age; younger successors’ farms were originally bigger than their older colleagues’ farms. The bigger original size of the farm can be assumed to influence the absolute growth of turnover. The positive connection between the purchase price of the farm and the growth of turnover of the farm supports that assumption. The relative growth of the farm appears to be stronger in older successors’ farms than in younger successors’ farms. The relative growth of the farm was found to be greater in smaller farms than in bigger ones. The relative indebtedness was found to correlate strongly with the relative growth of the farm. Investments made after the succession were a significant explainatory factor to both relative and absolute growth of the farm.
