Abstract

ABSTRACT Relatively a few studies assess the impact of climate change (CC) policies on effective farmers’ agronomic practices and associated agro-technical performance. This study aimed at characterizing how CC policies can help farmers to combine CC with other environmental issues to support the design of more effective policies at the farm level. It was conducted in Guadeloupe, where farming systems are highly vulnerable to CC. We analyzed the Agro-Environmental and Climate Measures (AECM) proposed by the European Union. We made surveys with 39 farmers and used an existing whole-farm simulation tool to assess practices promoted by the current AECM. The tool was also used to assess the new AECM under discussion by stakeholders. Structural characteristics allowed identifying various types of farms. These characteristics may affect farmers’ capacity to implement the current AECM given that they are labour-intensive. New AECM focused on the decrease in pesticides and do not properly address CC since most of them lead to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and are very different from the current farmers’ CC adaptation strategies. Synergies can be found between the reduction of pesticide use and CC if the alternatives proposed also permit to decrease in the use of synthetic fertilizers.
农业环境和气候措施如何影响瓜德罗普岛的农业系统绩效?:设计有效的气候变化政策的经验教训
摘要相对而言,很少有研究评估气候变化政策对农民有效农业实践和相关农业技术绩效的影响。本研究旨在描述CC政策如何帮助农民将CC与其他环境问题结合起来,以支持在农场层面设计更有效的政策。它是在瓜德罗普岛进行的,那里的农业系统非常容易受到CC的影响。我们分析了欧盟提出的农业环境和气候措施(AECM)。我们对39名农民进行了调查,并使用现有的全农场模拟工具来评估当前AECM推广的做法。该工具还用于评估利益相关者正在讨论的新AECM。结构特征允许识别各种类型的农场。这些特征可能会影响农民实施当前AECM的能力,因为他们是劳动密集型的。新的AECM侧重于农药的减少,但没有适当解决CC问题,因为其中大多数会导致温室气体排放增加,并且与当前农民的CC适应策略非常不同。如果拟议的替代品也允许减少合成肥料的使用,那么减少农药使用和CC之间可以找到协同作用。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability ( IJAS) is a cross-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of sustainability in agricultural and food systems. IJAS publishes both theoretical developments and critical appraisals of new evidence on what is not sustainable about current or past agricultural and food systems, as well as on transitions towards agricultural and rural sustainability at farm, community, regional, national and international levels, and through food supply chains. It is committed to clear and consistent use of language and logic, and the use of appropriate evidence to substantiate empirical statements. IJAS increases knowledge on what technologies and processes are contributing to agricultural sustainability, what policies, institutions and economic structures are preventing or promoting sustainability, and what relevant lessons should be learned.
