Importance and Need for Rural Development Instruments Under the CAP: A Survey of Farmers' Attitudes in Marginal Areas of Greece
调查希腊边缘地区农民对除传统补助外的农村发展工具（如营销协助、技术推广、培训和质量标准）的态度，发现不同农民群体需求不同，建议采取灵活多工具的政策。
The present work assesses the attitudes towards importance and need for providing agricultural development instruments other than traditional grant aid mechanisms in rural areas. Assistance in marketing farm produce, provision of extension services on new agricultural technology, agricultural training and provision of quality standards are four of the instruments examined. The importance and need for providing these instruments depends upon producers' human capital accumulation and farm characteristics. The analysis indicates that different instruments may apply to different parts of the rural population and thus a flexible, multi‐instrument and selective rural development policy may be required.
