ATTITUDES TOWARDS FARM DIVERSIFICATION: RESULTS FROM A SURVEY OF DEVON FARMS
调查了英国德文郡农民对牛奶配额的反应，发现政策制定者推崇的非农多元化与农民实际偏好的提高自给自足和扩大牛羊养殖存在分歧。
Evidence from a survey of farmers' reactions to milk quotas suggests that there remains a fundamental divide between policymakers' views of the future farm and those of the farmers themselves. This paper examines this dichotomy in the context of one important milk‐producing county, Devon. Here an emphasis at County Council level on non‐agricultural diversification is found to contrast with the actions and intentions of sampled farmers. These favour instead an increase in farm self‐sufficiency and an exploration of mainstream farming options, particularly an increase in beef and sheep enterprises.
