Full Consideration

Family farm emerged as a new form of agricultural production organization in China in recent years. For the purpose of sustainable development, decision-makers, such as farm owners and policy makers, require the precise information of a family farm’s state of operation to adopt measures for management improvement and agricultural contamination reduction. Considering this, we established two evaluation systems for the measurement of family farms’ management and environmental performance. As demonstrated in several recent studies, data envelopment analysis (DEA) cross efficiency is a useful approach for evaluating and comparing the performance of decision-making units (DMUs). Regarding family farms’ performance evaluation issues, we modified the traditional average cross-efficiency method to be the ultimate comprehensive cross-efficiency approach with the integration of two statistical quantities based on the full consideration of family farms’ unique features, such as vulnerability and seasonality, resulting from the influence of natural and social factors. Our proposed approach presents more excellent characteristics compared with CCR efficiency and average cross efficiency. Several conclusions regarding the operation of China’s family farms are drawn: (i) there is weak positive correlation between family farms’ management and environmental performance; (ii) there is an increasing trend for both management and environmental efficiency, along with the augmentation of the utilized agricultural area of family farms, and management performance is therefore more significant; (iii) demand for timely technological instruction to improve family farms’ management efficiency is expressed by farm owners who are willing to expand; (iv) to improve family farms’ environmental performance, several measures—such as introducing biotechnology, providing subsidies, and environmental education for farmers—should be adopted.

Environmental Performance Evaluation

Due to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly products and growing concern for green industry, environmental evaluation and environmental performance have become important measures of business and manufacturing industry. The main purpose of this evaluation is to evaluate, review, monitor and check environmental performance and compare it with its environmental performance criteria. The integration of quantitative and qualitative measurement is needed to facilitate the design of environmental performance evaluation. This research presents the design of environmental performance evaluation by using fuzzy expert system. Expert knowledge is acquired to develop the fuzzy rules. The proposed design is flexible enough to be modified and used with the different criteria.
