Farm income in European agriculture: new perspectives on measurement and implications for policy evaluation
该特刊从收入水平、收入风险和收入不平等三个维度,探讨欧洲农场收入的测量、建模、发展趋势及相关政策,尤其关注农场与政策复杂性增加及风险暴露加剧的背景。
Abstract Viable farm households contribute to the resilience of agricultural and food systems. Farm income is a policy-relevant proxy for this viability. Here, we address three key aspects of farm income: first, the income issue, focusing on (average) income levels; second, the variability issue, focusing on income risks faced by farmers; and third, the inequality issue, focusing on the heterogeneity and (in-)equalities of farm incomes. This special issue presents new perspectives on measurement, modelling, development and policies related to the income of farm families in Europe, especially in the light of increasing complexity of farms and policies and risk exposure.
