| Abstract [eng] |
During the last few decades, European agriculture has been intensifying its production practices. In order to reduce the negative impacts derived from intensive farming, some environmental friendly production methods have been promoted by EU public authorities. Organic farming, which has increased substantially in recent years, has received important attention within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The CAP has provided support to organic farming since 1991 by means of a premium subsidy program in which farmers receive a fixed payment per crop and year. The aim of this paper is to assess the factors that influence the decision to adopt organic farming practices. The following tasks are therefore set: 1) to compare the results of similar studies of the other countries within the European Union; 2) to make a logit model which could evaluate probabilities to switch to organic farming; and 3) to assess the influence of farmers’ expectations on the probability to switch to organic farming. |
