The once flourishing beer sector of the Baltic states was decimated and homogenised into low-quality mass-produced beer during Soviet times. Against this background, the article examines the micro- and craft beer scenes in the Baltic States, exploring their historical growth, regulatory changes, cultural and economic factors, and the key differences across the three countries.

The concept of sustainable development was born as a new way to solve the problems of the mature industrial economic system. Naturally, sustainability management was focused on the product-oriented business model.

Agricultural innovations, coupled with the pivotal role of women in their implementation, are increasingly recognized as essential for advancing sustainable agricultural practices and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The article provides a systematic literature review (SLR) on gender women’s barriers and innovation in agriculture.

Agriculture is the most vulnerable sector to climate change, e.g., temperatures or rainfall may significantly affect the crop yields, also leading the proliferation of pathogens and hence pests and diseases. The total economic losses from weather-and climate-related have caused damages reaching nearly 487 billion of euros in EEA member countries since 1980, and just 3% of all events are responsible for 60% of economic losses. Extreme weather events such as heavy precipitation, flood, drought, frost, heat, and strong wind are more and more frequent, intense, long-lasting, and they are the major drivers of agricultural losses

Tourism is a major driver of global economic growth but has long been criticized for its environmental and social drawbacks. Despite these challenges, it fosters cultural exchange, strengthens local economies, and promotes sustainable practices. To balance its benefits and drawbacks, the emerging concept of regeneration shifts the focus from merely reducing negative impacts to actively restoring and enhancing social, cultural, and environmental systems.

Productivity measures the performance of decision-making units (DMUs)—firms, organizations, industries, or the overall economy—as the ratio of outputs to inputs. This paper discusses an improved approach for estimating partial productivity—the additional amount of output that can be produced by increasing a specific input by one unit.

Automobile industries are facing rapid and unanticipated changes in their business environment. New strategies are needed to remain competitive in the market for those companies. The supply chain plays a crucial role in automobile companies, and improving the supply chain helps them to be successful in the competition.

This study examines the economic implications of climate policies, specifically evaluating the effectiveness of Kyoto Protocol (and the institutional setting emerging from it) in reducing carbon emissions. By analyzing data from 36 OECD countries between 1992 and 2019, we assess marginal abatement costs and evaluate the impact of the Kyoto Protocol.

Stakeholder engagement in the process of policy formation can mitigate the risks of flaws in policy planning and implementation; it also facilitates the successful adoption of new decisions, reduces conflict, and enhances the sense of responsibility among all actors involved in the implementation phase.

This paper analyses the sustainable economic competitiveness of cereal farms in Lithuania relative to selected European Union (EU) Member States (MS). The paper proposes and empirically tests an aggregated measure of Sustainable Economic Competitiveness Index (SECI) for agriculture from a production perspective.
