Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of participation in collective actions on the economic, social and environmental sustainability of fruit and vegetable farmers in the microregion of Toledo, Brazil. Through cross-sectional data analysis, we use a regression adjustment with the inverse probability weighted to estimate the average treatment effect on the treated. The results show a positive impact on sustainability indicators. However, there is a stronger impact economically than socially or environmentally. These findings suggest that participation in collective action can be an important strategy for farmers, as it reduces transaction costs and allows for greater access to information and knowledge, thus improving farmers’ sustainability.

集体行动成员对巴西托莱多水果和蔬菜农民经济、社会和环境绩效的影响
本文分析了参与集体行动对巴西托莱多小区果蔬农的经济、社会和环境可持续性的影响。通过横断面数据分析,我们使用逆概率加权的回归调整来估计对被治疗者的平均治疗效果。结果表明,对可持续性指标有正向影响。然而,经济上的影响比社会或环境上的影响更大。这些发现表明,参与集体行动可以成为农民的一项重要战略,因为它可以降低交易成本,并允许更多地获得信息和知识,从而提高农民的可持续性。
