Abstract

Agroecological transitions have the potential to deliver multiple environmental and social benefits. However socio-economic barriers have prevented those transitions in many European contexts. This article aims to inform policymakers about policy instruments that can foster agroecological transitions in Europe, especially by removing key socio-economic barriers. A multi-step methodology was carried out over a two-year period in 15 case studies across Europe. The case studies represent farming systems that are in the process of initiating or enhancing the transition. Data collection relied on a participatory process, involving a variety of transdisciplinary actors. Study findings identify three major themes of barriers to agroecological transitions, namely actor capacity, value chain and policy. To address these barriers, policy instruments should consider the farming system’s stage in the transition pathway to take account of the different priorities of local actors. At the stage of initiating the transition, removing the barriers requires improvements in knowledge delivery mechanisms by strengthening advisory services and reducing decision-makers’ uncertainty. At the stage of enhancing the transition, a focus on social capital is needed, for example by strengthening networking and cooperation measures. Generally, more attention towards state interventions which support the transitions to agroecology is needed, such as developing new voluntary agroecology certification schemes and public procurement initiatives.

支持欧洲农业生态转型的政策工具
农业生态转型有可能带来多种环境和社会效益。然而,在许多欧洲背景下,社会经济障碍阻碍了这些过渡。本文旨在向政策制定者介绍可以促进欧洲农业生态转型的政策工具,特别是通过消除关键的社会经济障碍。在欧洲的15个案例研究中,采用了为期两年的多步骤方法。案例研究代表了正在启动或加强过渡的农业系统。数据收集依赖于一个参与过程,涉及各种跨学科行为者。研究结果确定了农业生态转型障碍的三个主要主题,即行动者能力、价值链和政策。为了解决这些障碍,政策工具应考虑到农业系统在过渡道路上的阶段,以考虑到当地行为者的不同优先事项。在启动过渡阶段,消除障碍需要通过加强咨询服务和减少决策者的不确定性来改进知识交付机制。在加强过渡阶段,需要重点关注社会资本,例如加强联网和合作措施。一般来说,需要更多地关注支持向农业生态学过渡的国家干预措施,例如制定新的自愿农业生态学认证计划和公共采购举措。

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.
