Economic incentives to the adoption of low input cropping systems: The case of multi-resistant wheat cultivars in France
Résumé
Our main objective is to analyze the effects of policy instruments that could provide agricultural producers economic incentives to the adoption of innovative cropping practices which allow a reduction of pesticide use. To do so, we combine economic data, reflecting the intensive cropping practices currently used in France, and experimental agronomic data, on a low input technology, to conduct econometric estimations. The estimated economic models are then used to conduct policy simulations. Our results show that without public incentives producers would not adopt the new technology and that a tax on pesticides generates larger effects when these low input practices are available
