“…Empirical research has found that global agricultural productivity measured by total factor productivity (TFP) has increased over the last 40 years (Chisholm, 1992). This is mostly due to better knowledge and information that has been used to improve inputs, livestock breeds, crop genetics, land management and general farming practices.…”

“…Mullen (2002) noted that productivity on farms will remain an important item on the agenda for Australian farm management in the 21st century. It is also the case that broadacre agriculture has had a significant detrimental impact on the Australian environment (e.g., Chisholm, 1992) and as yet no attempts have been made to produce environmentally adjusted productivity estimates taking into account these negative externalities. Thus, this case study is considered appropriate for this research because of its strategic position in Australian economy as well as the significant environmental consequences that need to be accounted for when examining productivity changes.…”

“…Estimates of productivity growth from a number of sources suggest that the annual rate of productivity growth in Australian agriculture over the four decades to 1989-90 was 24-2.5 per cent (Chisholm, 1992). The productivity growth rate achieved in Australian agriculture is substantially higher than that achieved in the rest of the Australian economy and in the agricultural sectors of other developed countries taken as a whole.…”

“…The productivity loss and maintenance cost approaches are problematic as they ignore price and substitution effects. Chisholm (1992) also argues that there may be an optimal rate of soil erosion. Indeed, the private rate of soil erosion may differ from the socially optimal rate, as farmers will only be concerned about on-site costs.…”
