Abstract

Direct intervention in the size of livestock numbers is not considered a main option in European agri-environmental policies nor in policy studies. Nevertheless, the governments of the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium) have announced livestock buyout schemes. This article contributes to the scarce literature on this policy instrument by sketching the characteristics of different types of buyout schemes. We analyse how the issue of reducing livestock numbers is being framed in four EU Member States with high livestock dense regions: the Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders), Denmark and Germany. While the debate on ‘technology versus volume’ can be observed in all four countries, the ‘nitrogen crises’ in the first two has led to a reframing of concerns over livestock numbers in relation to place-based deterioration of habitats and the possibility of granting permits for new economic activities, rather than as a global issue of mitigating climate change. Pre-existing institutional frameworks influence the introduction and design of new buyout policies. In the context of high political pressure, existing policies to close down farms were reinforced and nutrient emission rights systems offered the opportunity to take production rights out of the market. Notwithstanding the policies and available budgets, the issue of direct intervention to reduce livestock numbers remains controversial.

西北欧的牲畜少吗?牲畜购买政策背后的讨论和驱动因素西北欧的牲畜减少?影响西北欧Geringere Viehbestände牲畜回购政策的话语和因素?Diskussionen und Beweggründe für Staatliche AufkaufProgramme von Vieh
在欧洲农业环境政策和政策研究中,对牲畜数量的直接干预都不被视为主要选择。尽管如此,荷兰和佛兰德斯(比利时)政府已经宣布了牲畜收购计划。本文通过概述不同类型收购计划的特点,为有关这一政策工具的稀少文献做出了贡献。我们分析了四个牲畜密集地区的欧盟成员国(荷兰、比利时(佛兰德斯)、丹麦和德国)如何制定减少牲畜数量的问题。虽然在这四个国家都可以观察到关于“技术与数量”的辩论,但前两个国家的“氮危机”导致人们重新审视了对牲畜数量的担忧,即栖息地的地方退化和为新的经济活动发放许可证的可能性,而不是缓解气候变化的全球问题。现有的体制框架影响了新收购政策的出台和设计。在高政治压力的背景下,现有的关闭农场的政策得到了加强,营养物排放权制度提供了将生产权从市场上剥夺的机会。尽管有政策和可用预算,但直接干预以减少牲畜数量的问题仍然存在争议。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
