摘要

投入补贴计划(ISPs)仍然是非洲各地促进农业集约化、粮食安全和减少贫困的一种流行但有争议的政策工具。虽然以往的研究探讨了投入补贴计划对小农各种成果的影响,但还没有研究分析近期的投入补贴计划对害虫管理的影响。鉴于气候变化和近期低收入国家杀虫剂使用量激增及其对人类和环境健康造成的负面影响导致虫害挑战日益严峻,这一点尤为重要。因此,本研究利用赞比亚玉米主产区 1048 块小农玉米地的数据和控制函数回归法,评估了综合服务提供商对小农采用可持续病虫害管理方法的影响。我们发现了一致的证据,即投入补贴的领取与小农采用环境友好型和可持续病虫害管理策略呈负相关。参与赞比亚 ISP(尤其是灵活的电子补贴券系统)鼓励使用合成杀虫剂,但却牺牲了可持续发展的实践。我们还发现,农民将合成农药和生物农药视为替代品,当他们拥有土地使用权保障和资金来源时,更有可能采用可持续病虫害管理。鉴于使用合成杀虫剂对人类和环境造成的健康后果,必须利用投入品补贴计划来促进采用更安全、更可持续的合成杀虫剂替代品。除投入品补贴外,改善小农保有权保障和资金获取的政策也能促进采用可持续虫害管理方法。

Are farm input subsidies a disincentive for integrated pest management adoption? Evidence from Zambia

Input subsidy programmes (ISPs) remain a popular but contentious policy tool to promote agricultural intensification, food security and poverty reduction across Africa. Although previous studies have explored the impact of ISPs on various smallholder outcomes, no studies have analysed the impact of recent ISPs on pest management. This is particularly important given the increasing pest challenges due to climate change and the recent surge in pesticide use in low-income countries and its associated negative consequences for human and environmental health. Thus, this study assessed the effects of ISPs on smallholder adoption of sustainable pest management practices, using data from 1048 smallholder maize plots across major maize-producing zones of Zambia and a control function regression approach. We find consistent evidence that input subsidy receipt is negatively associated with smallholders' adoption of environmentally friendly and sustainable pest management strategies. Participation in the Zambia ISP (particularly the flexible e-voucher system) encourages synthetic pesticide use, at the expense of sustainable practices. We also find that farmers consider synthetic pesticides and biopesticides as substitutes and are more likely to adopt sustainable pest management when they have tenure security and access to financial resources. Given the human and environmental health consequences associated with synthetic pesticide use, it would be important to leverage input subsidy schemes to promote the adoption of safer and more sustainable alternatives to synthetic pesticides. Beyond input subsidies, policies that improve tenure security and financial access for smallholders can promote the adoption of sustainable pest management practices.

期刊介绍: Published on behalf of the Agricultural Economics Society, the Journal of Agricultural Economics is a leading international professional journal, providing a forum for research into agricultural economics and related disciplines such as statistics, marketing, business management, politics, history and sociology, and their application to issues in the agricultural, food, and related industries; rural communities, and the environment. Each issue of the JAE contains articles, notes and book reviews as well as information relating to the Agricultural Economics Society. Published 3 times a year, it is received by members and institutional subscribers in 69 countries. With contributions from leading international scholars, the JAE is a leading citation for agricultural economics and policy. Published articles either deal with new developments in research and methods of analysis, or apply existing methods and techniques to new problems and situations which are of general interest to the Journal’s international readership.
