The increasing promotion of green technologies in agriculture is often justified on environmental grounds, yet empirical evidence on their economic implications for agribusiness enterprises in Nigeria remains limited. This study was therefore justified by the need to understand whether and under what conditions green technology adoption translates into improved enterprise profitability. The purpose of the study was to examine the selected factors influencing the profitability of agribusiness enterprises in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria that have adopted green technology. A descriptive survey design was adopted, and primary data were collected from 120 agribusiness green technology adopters using a structured questionnaire. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results revealed that age and work experience significantly and positively influenced enterprise profit, while household size and educational status were not significant. Among adoption-related factors, government support and market access positively affected profitability, whereas high technology cost, inadequate resources, and ineffective access to information constrained profit. The model explained about 42% of the variation in enterprise profit. The study concludes that green technology adoption alone does not guarantee higher profitability; rather, supportive institutional frameworks, affordable technologies, adequate resources, and market linkages are critical for translating environmental innovations into economic gains. Policy interventions should therefore integrate financial, informational, and market-support mechanisms to enhance both the profitability and sustainability of agribusinesses.

All over the world, we can observe the ongoing transition of agri-food sectors into sustainable food systems. Actors bridging stakeholders and their processes, thereby facilitating transitions, are called intermediaries. The wide variety of their missions, aims, and strategies creates so-called ecologies of intermediation. The main research question was how intermediaries could improve the facilitation of the transition to sustainable food systems in Poland. In order to do so, we analysed five intermediaries, each representing a different level of transition. We focused on organic food production, as organic certificates are commonly regarded as a sign of sustainable production. Understanding the ecologies of intermediation and increased support for activities and the establishment of intermediaries in the Polish food system should become the shared aim in governing the transition to a sustainable food system in Poland. In the public debate, we should highlight the modes, activities, and tasks of systemic, regime, niche, process, and user intermediaries, encouraging new and existing ones to develop, upscale, and intermediate between actors, networks, and institutions.

Youth engagement in agribusiness is a strategic priority for addressing unemployment and ensuring food security in Nigeria. However, the persistence of high failure rates among youth-led enterprises suggests that conventional support models, predominantly focused on financial provision, are insufficient. Therefore, this study investigates the multidimensional drivers of empowerment and performance among youth agripreneurs in Jigawa State, Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design, collecting data from 286 young agribusiness entrepreneurs selected through a multistage sampling technique. The survey was conducted in the year 2025, and it lasted for a period of three months (May-July). An easy-cost-route approach, a well-structured questionnaire complemented with an interview schedule, key informants, and a focus group discussion were the tools used for information synthesis. Furthermore, a structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyse the relationships within four theoretical frameworks: the Agripreneurship Empowerment Dimension Theory (AEDT), the Youth Agency Dimension Theory (YADT), the Youth Agripreneurship Performance Theory (YAPT), and the Agripreneurship Resource Construct (ARC). The results revealed that psychological empowerment and self-efficacy were the strongest and most significant predictors of empowerment, far surpassing the impact of economic factors, which were statistically insignificant. Political empowerment and autonomy also showed significant positive effects. Regarding performance, customer-oriented factors and social resources, such as networks and mentorship, were the most critical drivers, while financial resources alone showed no significant direct effect. The study concludes that empowerment and performance are intrinsically linked to intrinsic psychological assets and social capital rather than purely financial inputs. Consequently, it recommends a paradigm shift in policy and practice towards integrated interventions that prioritise mindset development, leadership training, political inclusion, and the strengthening of social networks to build resilient and empowered youth agripreneurs capable of transforming Jigawa State&apos;s agricultural landscape.

Uzasadnieniem podjęcia tematu jest znacząca rola praktyk odroczonych płatności w kształtowaniu rolowanych należności MŚP sektora przetwórstwa rolno spożywczego w warunkach przewagi dużych odbiorców, wynikającej z asymetrii siły kontraktowej i ograniczeń egzekucyjnych. Celem artykułu było określenie skali i dynamiki rolowanych należności krótkoterminowych w latach 2016-2022 oraz ocena ich wpływu na płynność finansową MŚP. Zastosowano analizę wskaźnikową płynności szybkiej w dwóch wariantach: tradycyjnym, opartym na należnościach krótkoterminowych ogółem oraz skorygowanym, w którym z podstawy obliczeń wyłączono rolowane należności. Analizę uzupełniono o ocenę trendów i dynamiki łańcuchowej. Wyniki wskazują, że rolowane należności stanowią trwały element struktury aktywów obrotowych, a ich udział wykazał przejściowy wzrost w 2020 roku, po czym powrócił do poziomu z lat wcześniejszych. Korekta wskaźników płynności o należności rolowane ujawnia systematyczne przeszacowanie płynności memoriałowej. Korekta ta prowadzi do obniżonej, bardziej wiarygodnej oceny zdolności płatniczej przedsiębiorstw, znacząco różniącej się od wyników tradycyjnych wskaźników. Zaproponowane ujęcie rolowanych należności i wskaźnika ich udziału w należnościach krótkoterminowych wprowadza do analizy płynności element dotąd nieuwzględniany, umożliwiając ocenę wypłacalności z perspektywy bliższej rzeczywistym przepływom pieniężnym.
