Abstract

Switzerland is a country that has ambitious agri-environmental objectives, but its targets are continuously missed. The paper at hand examines this contradiction by describing and analysing three recent attempts to transform agricultural policies and change the unfortunate situation. The three cases were compared in a qualitative multimethod research design and along dimensions that are potentially relevant for explaining reform failures. While the attempts depicted involved distinctive governance pathways, they all failed to meet their objectives because of the large disadvantages their realisation would have generated. These included, above all, a reduction of the national self-sufficiency rate. It is concluded that the strategy of providing incentives for mere extensification has reached a dead end. New strategies to tackle food consumption patterns appear to be more promising.

为什么农业政策对环境没有更大的野心?比较瑞士的失败尝试
瑞士是一个有着雄心勃勃的农业环境目标的国家,但它的目标总是无法实现。本文通过描述和分析最近三次改变农业政策和改变不幸状况的尝试来检验这种矛盾。这三个案例在定性的多方法研究设计中进行了比较,并沿着可能与解释改革失败相关的维度进行了比较。尽管所描述的尝试涉及不同的治理途径,但它们都未能实现其目标,因为它们的实现将产生巨大的不利因素。这些措施首先包括降低国家自给率。结论是,仅仅为扩大提供奖励的战略已走入死胡同。解决食品消费模式的新策略似乎更有希望。
