Abstract

European farmers' preferences for voluntary agri-environmental contracts are often heterogeneous and can be influenced by behavioural factors. In our study, we investigate how farmer identity and risk preferences are related to preferences for agri-environment contracts in the UK, France, and the Netherlands. Using data from a discrete choice experiment and a sample of 767 farmers, we identify a statistically significant, but nonrobust, effect showing that a stronger relative productivist farmer identity is associated with a higher preference for contracts organized by retail companies over those organized by governments. Furthermore, results show that a stronger relative productivist identity reduces the likelihood of participating in the proposed agri-environment contracts.
