Risk, Vulnerability, and Resilience in Agriculture and Their Impact on Sustainable Rural Economy Development: A Case Study of Greece

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

 

The content of the study is informative. However, the approach in the empirical investigation needs major overhaul. For instance, if you say that explanatory variables i.e., Risk, Vulnerability, and Resilience are positively related to economy development, does this not translate to 'high Risk, high Vulnerability, and high Resilience' produces strong economy development?. At least that is what the 'sign' of the coefficients or Beta vales suggest in Table 8.

If the above comment is true, then the entire discussion of the results with concrete economic intuition and reasons for the results should be re-presented.

language editing should be applied to the manuscript.

General: This could be an interesting and worthwhile article with significant revision. I note several contradictions, but I would like to give the authors a chance to explain themselves and try again.

 

This article is well written, well structured, and uses an extended and up-to-date set of references. This post also provides interesting background information on the problem described, and a few minor issues that came up during my review:

 

General: Please use subscripts and superscripts where applicable.

 

1. Please improve the manuscript title.

2. What does your article bring to the research field that other papers did not address? I think this must be clearly established to highlight the reader about the novelty statement of this article.

 

3. The English grammar and style should be checked throughout the paper.

 

4. figure one and two can be improved in Quality and resolution.

 

5. Conclusions and recommendations must be clearly related to the results. These relationships should be included in the text.

6. The authors should mention the main limitations of this study at the end of the conclusion section in one paragraph.
