Article
Taxes on agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides are often discussed, but there are large knowledge gaps as existing evidence on the functioning, experiences and limitations is outdated and scattered. We fill this gap by synthesiz[...]
Article
Article
Currently, policy decisions are often made based on untested scientific results. Replication studies repeat previously published research and, thus, are an effective way to test the validity and reliability of research studies, as well as to tes[...]

A. Sander ; J. Ghazoul ; R. Finger ; S. Schaub |Understanding the behavioural factors that influence farmers' intentions to participate in agri-environmental schemes is crucial for delivering sustainability in agricultural landscapes. Drawing on a qualitative synthesis approach, we seek to un[...]
Article
Precision agriculture technologies can help reduce nitrogen losses and the associated negative environmental impacts. As the adoption rate of such technologies in small-scale farming systems is still low, additional policy measures are required [...]

S. Schaub ; J. Ghazoul ; R. Huber ; W. Zhang ; A. Sander ; C. Rees ; S. Banerjee ; R. Finger |Agri-environmental schemes (AESs) are increasingly implemented to promote the adoption of environmentally friendly practices by farmers. We use a systematic review to explore the role of behavioural factors and opportunity costs in farmers' deci[...]
Article
CONTEXT The use of pesticides implies negative effects on human health and the environment. Thus, the reduction in pesticide risks without harming food security and farmers' income is a key policy goal. OBJECTIVE The aim is to investigate the im[...]
Article
The goal of this paper is to provide insights into how scientific evidence can be used for policymaking and put evidence-based agriculture and food policies at the top of research and policy agendas. We illustrate how scientific evidence can be [...]

B.N. Elmiger ; R. Finger ; J. Ghazoul ; S. Schaub |CONTEXT Many agricultural policies target the conservation of biodiversity worldwide. Result-based agri-environmental schemes can be more effective and efficient than the more commonly used action-based schemes. The efficiency of result-based sc[...]

Huber |CONTEXT Digitalisation affects the agri-food sector and its governance. However, what digitalisation of the sector will imply for future agricultural policymaking remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is to develop and evaluate e[...]
Article
The sustainable intensification of agriculture requires solutions for a large-scale reduction of pesticide use while sustaining agricultural yields. Pesticide-free production standards, which bring together the strengths of all the food value ch[...]
Article
Improvements in the sustainability of agricultural production depend essentially on advances in the efficient use of nitrogen. Precision farming promises solutions in this respect. Variable rate technologies allow the right quantities of fertili[...]
Article
This article investigates the stability of farmers’ risk attitude over time. To this end, we estimate responses to changes in agricultural policies and production shocks. We use a unique panel data of over 36,000 Italian farms specialised in cer[...]

Reidsma |Context Resilience is the ability to deal with shocks and stresses, including the unknown and previously unimaginable, such as the Covid-19 crisis. Objective This paper assesses (i) how different farming systems were exposed to the crisis, (ii) [...]
Article
Digitalisation in the agricultural sector continues to expand. At the same time demands for an agricultural policy offering better support for sustainability become increasingly fervent. However, it is far from clear how digitalisation could mak[...]
Article
We investigate the drivers and persistence of profits in EU food retailing by focusing on differences between “top competitors” and fringe food retailers using a sample of 12,786 firms from France, Spain, and Sweden between 2006 and 2014. We det[...]

N. Möhring ; N. Möhring ; T. Dalhaus ; G. Enjolras ; R. Finger |The provision of better risk management tools for farmers and the reduction of adverse effects from pesticide use are both important goals of agricultural policy - but are potentially interrelated and might contradict each other. In this article[...]
