Preferences for Sustainable Production Practices in Extensive Livestock Systems in Uruguay
通过离散选择实验和风险时间偏好测量，分析乌拉圭养牛户对三种可持续畜牧实践的偏好，发现生产者普遍偏好可持续集约化，但对林牧复合系统需要经济补偿，且存在显著的偏好异质性。
ABSTRACT We use a discrete choice experiment along with behavioral measures of risk and time preferences to analyze the preferences of Uruguayan cattle producers for three types of sustainable livestock practices: improved grazing systems, sustainable livestock management, and silvopastoral approaches. The results indicate that, on average, producers favor sustainable intensification, are indifferent to improved grazing practices, and require monetary compensation to adopt silvopastoral systems. A latent class model reveals significant preference heterogeneity, identifying two distinct producer profiles: one inclined to adopt the proposed practices and another that requires stronger incentives. These findings underscore the importance of designing differentiated policy instruments tailored to the characteristics and motivations of diverse producer types.
