| Résumé : |
Pollinator populations are declining worldwide, particularly in Europe. This decline has a negative effect on crop yield and ecological and economic consequences for the maintenance of ecosystems.
To address these issues, the European authorities have mobilized a series of policy measures through the CAP to safeguard the conservation of pollinators and ensure the provision of pollination services. These policies integrate pollinator protection into sectoral and cross-sectoral plans and programmes. This study examines the impact of pollinator restoration measures on two selected farms in Freiburg, Germany, identifying factors that affect profitability and analyzing both direct and indirect effects using a bioeconomic model with GAMS software. The selected farms represent conventional and ecological farming systems and are demonstration farms that are a part of the EU Horizon project, RestPoll. The study simulated a baseline and two scenarios for each farming system to optimize farm profitability. The results show that pollinator restoration can change how farms use their resources and how financial incentives play a main role in shaping farm decisions. Pollinator restoration measures increase farm profitability and support environmental sustainability. Ecological farming practices are more responsive to subsidy-based intervention and are better positioned in long term success. In addition; subsidy related policies have a positive impact on the transformation of farming systems. |
