摘要

农业集约化是现代化叙事的核心,可以提高效率和生产力,特别是在乳制品部门。尽管集约化农业可能提高效率,但其对环境的影响仍受到批评,特别是在温室气体排放和养分流失方面,这引起了人们对其长期环境可持续性的担忧。本研究实证调查了农业集约化、环境可持续性和畜牧业经济效率之间的相互作用。它独特地分析了集约化和环境绩效(后者由农业环境足迹指数衡量)如何影响水牛奶牛场的技术效率。为此,本研究使用农场会计数据网络(FADN),对2010年至2022年期间意大利原产地指定保护区内的198个水牛农场进行了随机前沿分析。结果强调,从技术效率的角度来看,在水牛养殖中采用集约化做法是一种成功的解决方案,而从技术和经济的角度来看,可持续地采取行动并没有回报。这些结果激发了对支持畜牧业的政策有效性的思考,为从业者和政策制定者提供了在保持经济可行性的同时改进农业实践的见解。

Intensive vs. environmentally sustainable: The livestock dilemma

Intensive vs. environmentally sustainable: The livestock dilemma
Agricultural intensification is central to the modernization narrative, promoting efficiency and productivity, particularly in the dairy sector. Despite potential efficiency gains, intensive farming faces criticism for its environmental impact, particularly concerning greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient runoff, raising concerns about their long-term environmental sustainability. This study empirically investigates the interplay of farm intensification, environmental sustainability, and economic efficiency in the livestock sector. It uniquely analyses how intensification and environmental performance, the latter measured by the Agri-Environmental Footprint Index, influence the technical efficiency of buffalo dairy farms. To this end, this research employs the Stochastic Frontier Analysis to a sample of 198 buffalo farms within Italy's Protected Designation of Origin area, using the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) for the period 2010 to 2022. Results highlighted that the adoption of intensive practices in buffalo farming represents a winning solution from the standpoint of technical efficiency, while acting sustainably does not pay off from a technical and economic point of view. These results stimulate reflections on the effectiveness of policies supporting livestock farms, offering insights for both practitioners and policymakers to improve agricultural practices while maintaining economic viability.
