Abstract

Reducing pesticide use is a growing concern in modern agriculture, amid increasing awareness of its detrimental consequences for health and the environment. We investigate the impact of pesticide-use restrictions in the French agriculture using a quantitative model of trade. We illustrate the effects of such restrictions on agricultural production, trade, and welfare. Our model endogenizes the choice of cultivated crops and farming technology (conventional vs organic) for farmers, and the mix of conventional and organic food for consumers. Using our model and detailed data on French farmers, coupled with more aggregate data on the French agricultural sector and international trade, we quantify the impact of taxing pesticides and of subsiding organic farming for the 96 French districts, the regional heterogeneity of their response, and assess the effects on farmers' revenues, food prices, and imports.
