The impact of reforming the Common Agricultural Policy on the sustainability of the irrigated area of Central Italy. An empirical assessment by means of a Positive Mathematical Pro...
Cortignani, Raffaele; Severini, Simone - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a major driver of the environmental and social sustainability of the agriculture in the European Union (EU). Under the 2003 CAP reform, most direct payments to agricultural producers were decoupled from production. This work assesses the possible impact of...

The impact of the Single Farm Payments on the Expenditure on Fertilizers and crop protection inputs: a comparative study of the Italian agriculture
Vollaro, Michele - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010
The Health Check (HC) of the European Common Agricultural Policy in 2003 sped up the process of policy reforms toward decoupled payments in order to urge agricultural production to respond to market signals. However, since decoupled payments could generate “coupled” effects on production, it...

Evaluating the efficiency of a N-input tax under different policy scenarios at different scales
Petsakos, Athanasios; Jayet, Pierre-Alain - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010
Nitrate pollution from agriculture is an important environmental problem, caused by the excessive use of inorganic fertilizers. The internalization of this externality, via a tax on mineral nitrogen, could lead to a second best solution, reducing nitrate emissions. Several authors suggest that a...

Mitigation options and policies in agricultural sector: a theoretical model and application
Ervola, Asta; Lankoski, Jussi E.; Ollikainen, Markku - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010
Agriculture’s impact on climate change is unambiguous although its role is multifaceted as it is a source of greenhouse gases but also a sink. It’s feasibility to mitigate climate change has raised interest, but thorough studies about the net benefits of the mitigation practices are needed....

Do Farmers Internalise External Impacts of Pesticides in Production?
Skevas, Theodoros; Stefanou, Spiro E.; Oude Lansink, … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010
In modern agriculture, pesticides feature so prominently in growers’ arsenal to reduce crop damage caused by various pests and diseases. But their indiscriminate use can harm human health and the environment and, eventually, impact agricultural productivity negatively. In an era of an...

Technical efficiency and environmental pressures of pig farms in Hungary
Latruffe, Laure; Desjeux, Yann; Fogarasi, Jozsef; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010
Pig farming is one of the strongest polluters of water resources due to its intensive production techniques and slurry rejection. Several European countries have already introduced environmental regulations aiming at reducing the pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources, but not...

Integrating small farms in agent based models
Roder, Norbert; Kantelhardt, Jochen - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2009
In German agriculture structural change is mainly a result of the outmigration of smaller farms from the sector. The decisions of these farmers to leave or stay in the sector, are not based solely on financial data and market expectations. Other aspects are important such as the preservation of...
