Resumo
[Abstract]: This paper examines the role of public subsidies on farming efficiency for Spain by using
a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach followed by a nonparametric regression
of efficiency to farm specific factors (economic size, environmentally friendly behavior
and regional aspects). The empirical analysis suggest that although a higher degree of
direct payments negatively affects farm efficiency, these subsidies become an incentive
for environmental friendly behavior by farmers in order to improve the productive
efficiency. In turn, this proposition leads to a careful attention for the roots of agricultural
productions in line to the EU aim of more market-oriented agriculture. Then, a conceptual
framework was elaborated in order to propose a multi-layered model for supporting the
design of a green business plan based on functional foods. This study also explores the
process of generation-production-consumption of functional foods, involving not only the
knowledge transfer of the healthy properties of these products but also the multiple role
of rural women as producers, educators/advisors and buyers of these foods. The
positioning of rural women in the whole process of functional foods results relevant to
build their competitive advantage as local entrepreneurs. The leverage points of the
strategic formulation of green business models were reinforced following the
roadmapping methodology from a dynamic perspective: alliances with suppliers of
knowledge (researchers), identification with their reference groups (investors, clients)
and management of intellectual capital (structural, human, relational). Finally, findings
reveal that rural women are better positioned than others to create businesses based on
functional foods from a niche formulation.
