Economic incentives to the adoption of low input cropping systems: The case of multi-resistant wheat cultivars in France
Résumé
The first part of the paper is devoted to the presentation of the economic model and the results of the econometric estimations conducted on data representing the behaviors of farmers using traditional intensive cropping. In a second part, we present the agronomic data and the results of the estimations, based on these data, of the change in yield functions implied by a switch from intensive to low input cropping practices. This allows us to build a new economic model. The third part is devoted to the presentation of the simulations results. Finally we
conclude.
