Acknowledging the increasing importance, we study consumer preferences for and perception of local products with a particular focus on how willingness to pay (WTP) for local origin indication differs across products, types of designations, and rurality of the individual's geographic location. Using data collected through an online survey, we focused on Indiana residents’ preferences for sweet corn and BBQ sauce with the sample representing both rural and urban consumers across all twelve economic growth regions in the state. Results reveal significant premiums for local products, with variations in willingness to pay for certain local indications across rural and urban respondents. We also find that the marketing channel (farmer's market, direct from producer, or retail/grocery store) significantly influences respondents’ WTP for the two products, with results varying across the two products.","PeriodicalId":87350,"journal":{"name":"Q open","volume":"115 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140422579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Against this background, the present study aimed to establish how farmers and food consumers envision the future of agriculture. Application of Q-Methodology revealed three opinion groups for both farmers and consumers. In conclusion, the Ukraine war has not significantly shifted the balance between old and new societal demands on agriculture. Old discrepancies in the views of farmers and the non-farming population persist. While among the farmers surveyed the group of those who adhere to “business as usual” predominates, there is no group among the consumers surveyed who share this view. Rather, there is a majority desire among consumers for the sector to continue to be aligned with sustainability goals. Security of supply is only an issue for a small proportion of the consumers surveyed.","PeriodicalId":87350,"journal":{"name":"Q open","volume":"8 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139958286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The European Commission (EC) claims that the proposal for pesticides will not disrupt European agri-food production and price. The EC argues that previous assessments of the roadmap provide an upper limit to the effects of the proposal, mostly by ignoring alternative production techniques that rely on integrated pest management principles. Our paper first explains that the general equilibrium approach applied by the USDA does correctly capture these alternatives, measured implicitly in econometric studies on the price inelasticity of pesticide use. Second, we show that the USDA study significantly underestimates the negative effects of the proposal in terms of agri-food production, due to the input taxes rebated as output subsidies. Finally we show that the underestimation is robust to the other arguments raised by the EC.","PeriodicalId":87350,"journal":{"name":"Q open","volume":"2 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139525101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can enhance agrobiodiversity and make modern agriculture more sustainable. Currently, our knowledge about what will determine SWT adoption at farm-level is limited because few mature and economically viable prototype systems are available. We conduct a pre-registered and incentive-compatible online lab-in-the-field experiment with a convenience sample of 334 active German crop farmers to assess whether pro-environmental attitude, innovativeness and trust in farming data privacy explain hypothetical SWT adoption. We further test if an environmentally motivated subsidy, a green nudge, and a combination thereof affect adoption intentions. While attitudinal measures clearly modulate hypothetical adoption decisions in our sample, we detect no effect for the nudge and subsidy. Our findings have implications for policy and future research. Substantial policy support may be needed as long as environmentally beneficial smart farming technology remains privately less competitive than conventional alternatives. Moreover, targeting criteria for early adopters include pro-environmental attitudes and innovativeness.","PeriodicalId":87350,"journal":{"name":"Q open","volume":" 1247","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139617168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, comparing the performance of low-input systems to conventional ones, particularly in terms of productivity and yield, is challenging due to selection bias. First, we often lack observational data on low-input systems. Then, when available, the comparison between the two production systems is challenging due to potential endogeneity in input use and selection bias. To effectively develop policies promoting the adoption of low-input systems and assess their impact, for example on pesticide use and yields, it is crucial to employ an econometric framework that addresses these issues. This article proposes an endogenous switching approach combined with control functions to tackle selection bias and input endogeneity simultaneously. Using unbalanced panel data on Swiss wheat production, which includes both low-input and conventional systems, our framework allows us to analyze the differentiated role of inputs as well as their price elasticity for both conventional and low-input farming systems.","PeriodicalId":87350,"journal":{"name":"Q open","volume":"146 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139165796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These baseline projections play a key role in agricultural decision-making and policies. Our study compares the OECD-FAO and USDA baseline projections for harvested acres, production, and yield in the European Union, the United States, and China for rice and wheat. We evaluate the accuracy by examining the projection error, including the magnitude of bias and variance as well as the significance of bias. We also compare the OECD-FAO and USDA projections’ predictive abilities using the modified Diebold-Mariano test. We find that the accuracy of the projections decreases as the projection horizon increases. Both agencies underestimate wheat projections in the European Union and China. USDA projections generally outperform OECD-FAO projections for most rice variables, while the reverse is found for longer-horizon EU wheat projections. This assessment may enable agencies to make more accurate projections and enable market participants to better understand these projections.","PeriodicalId":87350,"journal":{"name":"Q open","volume":"28 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135429898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
