Environmental Good Production in the Optimum Activities Portfolio of a Risk Averse Farmer
Havlik, Petr; Jacquet, Florence; Boisson, Jean-Marie; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2005
An analytical framework is proposed for analysis of environmental good production by farmers in the case of price uncertainty. Environmental good production contracted by means of agri-environmental agreements is treated as a risk less option in the farmer's production activities portfolio....

Spatially explicit farming system modelling for an efficient agri-environmental policy design
Havlik, Petr; Bamiére, Laure; Jacquet, Florence; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008
A mathematical programming model is developed and associated to a spatial pattern index (Ripley L function) to analyse the optimal reserve design and implementation for the Little Bustard conservation in Plaine de Niort. The model structure corresponds to three spatial levels, fields, farm and...

Multifunctional Agriculture: A Framework and Policy Design
Lankoski, Jussi E.; Ollikainen, Markku - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2002
We study the multifunctional character of agriculture in a model of endogenous input use and land allocation augmented … by biodiversity, landscape amenity, and nutrient runoff. While biodiversity and landscape amenities represent the public … good aspects of agriculture, nutrient runoff represents its negative externalities. We show that the private use of …

Agri-Environmental Policies When the Spatial Pattern of Biodiversity Reserves Matters
Bamiere, Laure; David, Maia; Vermont, Bruno - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
The aim of this paper is to compare different policy instruments for cost-effective habitat conservation on agricultural lands, when the desired spatial pattern of reserves is a random mosaic. We use a spatially explicit mathematical programming model which studies the farmers' behavior as...

Opportunity Costs of Providing Crop Diversity in Organic and Conventional Farming: Would Targeted Environmental Policies Make Economic Sense?
Sipilainen, Timo; Huhtala, Anni - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
Targeted environmental policies for farmlands may improve the cost-efficiency of conservation programs if one can identify the farms that produce public goods, or environmental outputs, with the least cost. We derive shadow values of producing crop diversity on conventional and organic crop...

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 … low toxicity pesticides, and variables reflecting pesticide impacts on biodiversity and operator’s health. The application … focuses on panel data of Dutch cash crop producers. The pesticide contribution on some biodiversity categories are found to …

Towards a cost-effectiveness analysis of the measurement of biodiversity indicators
Targetti, Stefano; Viaggi, Davide; Cuming, David - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
A comprehensive quantification of biodiversity in farming systems would require a very significant amount of work (and … funds) even for a small area. Therefore, biodiversity indicators are needed to solve the problem of the measurement … from a farm-scale biodiversity survey (EU-FP7, BioBio - “Indicators for biodiversity in organic and low-input farming …

Land sharing vs. land sparing for biodiversity: How agricultural markets make the difference
Desquilbet, Marion; Dorin, Bruno; Couvet, Denis - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014
We show that whether intensive or extensive farming is most beneficial to biodiversity depends on the equilibrium of … agricultural markets. With higher production costs, extensive farming tends to be more beneficial to biodiversity than intensive … farming, except when there is a very high degree of convexity between biodiversity and yield. Extensive farming is detrimental …
