Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Drivers of Precision Agriculture Adoption in Italian Viticulture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the main drivers influencing the adoption of two types of precision farming technologies in the viticultural sector: Decision Support Systems (DSSs) and Variable Rate Technologies (VRTs). We apply a partial proportional odds model and find that socio‐demographic characteristics are not significant determinants of adoption ...

QUANTITATIVE PEST RISK ASSESSMENT WITH CAPRA

, 2019
Methodology of quantitative pest risk assessment developed by 2006 may be applied to CAPRA programme. The way of using this methodology when conducting PRA with CAPRA programme is provided in the paper including assessment of probability of entry of analysed pest to the PRA area, probability of its establishment there and potential economic impact.

Hemp Cultivation and Crop Diversification: Implications for Ecosystem Services in Kentucky

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the ecosystem benefits of expanding hemp cultivation by assessing its impact on crop diversity. Using scenario‐based simulations and fixed‐effect panel regressions with county‐level data in Kentucky, we find that increased hemp acreage tends to enhance crop diversity, improving water quality and bird diversity.

A Suite of Models to Support the Quantitative Assessment of Spread in Pest Risk Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2012
Los Análisis de Riesgo de Plagas (pra) se llevan a cabo en todo el mundo para decidir si y cómo deben regularse las plagas de plantas exóticas para evitar la invasión. Existe una creciente demanda de mapeo de riesgos basado en la ciencia en pra. La propagación juega un papel clave en la determinación de la distribución potencial de las plagas, pero no ...

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Delaying the Inevitable? U.S. Screwworm Closures and Feeder Cattle Market Dynamics

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biosecurity trade restrictions are commonly framed as preventive measures, yet in many settings they function primarily as policies of delay: they impose immediate market costs while only postponing the arrival of biological risks. This paper evaluates that intertemporal tradeoff using the 2024–2025 US suspension of live cattle imports from ...

Commodity risk assessment of Petunia spp. and Calibrachoa spp. unrooted cuttings from Guatemala

EFSA Journal
The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to evaluate the probability of entry of pests (likelihood of pest freedom at entry), including both, regulated and non‐regulated pests, associated with unrooted cuttings of the genera ...
