| Abstract |
- In Europe and elsewhere, agri-environmental schemes
(AES) are designed to reduce agriculture's impacts on the environment.
Designing effective schemes requires an understanding of the reasons
that drive farmers' decisions whether to adopt AES.
- Currently, most insights come from individual case
studies or structured surveys based on predefined questions. There is a
paucity of studies that do not rely on rigid preconceptions about
relevant behavioural factors while also offering a geographically and
socio-culturally broad perspective that can address the cultural and
institutional context-specificity of behavioural studies. Also, most
studies focus on the adoption decision, while implementation decisions
and their consequences for the ecological effectiveness of AES remain
understudied.
- In this article, we present the results from
semi-structured farmer interviews conducted in five agricultural
landscapes across Europe. The results are used to uncover reasons for
AES adoption as well as the implications of AES implementation decisions
for their ecological effectiveness.
- The main reason for AES adoption that was common
across case study regions is the interplay of opportunity costs and
payment levels, which has negative implications for the ecological
effectiveness of AES as farmers prioritized marginal land or adopted
non-additional AES. Among reasons that vary across regions, tenure
relations and the role of ecological reasoning stand out.
- We find that AES are unlikely to trigger broader
shifts towards sustainable management but there is some potential for
improvement, mainly by increasing the flexibility, spatial targeting and
ecological ambition of the schemes.
