“…There is a widespread view that, at least in some countries, it can be difficult to attract farmer participation and thus there is a low uptake of AECMs but firm evidence on this is hard to obtain. Numerous analyses indicate that the main factor encouraging farmers to participate in AECMs is financial incentives rather than environmental concerns (Pavlis et al 2016;Wąs et al 2021), although Dessart, Barreiro-Hurlé, and van Bavel (2019) highlight the importance of behavioural factors. Brown et al (2021) argue that over-emphasising economic considerations may hamper the effectiveness of environmental payments, potentially corroding farmer attitudes to policy and environmental objectives.…”

This paper surveys some of the key themes in European agricultural policy research in recent decades. It identifies three main drivers of this research: a gradual broadening of the scope of the discipline in response to changing political priorities and values; an enlarged toolbox of policy instruments that has raised new questions and required the development of new modes of analysis; and the availability of new data sources, increased computing power, as well as the introduction of new methodological advances from economics, statistics and psychology that have opened the way to new and more powerful analytical tools. Particular attention is paid to direct payments and agri-environment-climate measures as examples of new policy instruments that have driven the research agenda. The paper concludes by identifying requirements to ensure that agricultural policy research remains vibrant and relevant in the future.

“…On one hand, they tend to sacrifice some environmental quality to pursue economic benefits, and problems such as overuse of fertilizer and pesticides [41,42], water pollution [43,44], and cultivated land pollution [45] are appearing. Risk aversion has also turned out to be an important determinant [46]. On the other hand, economic incentives such as social and environmental subsidies will change farmers' environmental decisions.…”

Understanding farmers’ participation is crucial for achieving an effective impact on rural living environmental governance and promoting sustainable development. Taking Sandu Town in eastern China as a case study, in-depth semi-structured interviews with farmers, village cadres, and town managers were conducted in this study. Then, a conceptual framework incorporating comprehensive factors is presented to analyze the driving factors and mechanisms of farmer participation in rural domestic waste management. The results show that farmers’ participation in pro-environmental actions is a response to an integrated network of both internal and external factors. Life inertia, loss of personal interests, and objective conditions are the barriers to farmers deciding to participate. Meanwhile, environmental awareness can increase farmers’ internal motivations, and factors such as household benefits, social-cultural influences, and appraisal systems, including household possession protection, very low economic costs, better life experiences, demonstrations from society, “following the crowd”, peer pressure, and reward and criticism measures, are the external forces that mobilize farmers to participate in rural environmental governance. Policy recommendations are proposed based on the findings.

“…They are vital because it is a critical determinant of food security (Ingutia and Sumelius, 2022), resulting in a shift in understanding farmers' goals for new technologies (Ensor and de Bruin, 2022) The geographical aspect is a barrier to the food supply in Lingga Regency. Geographical factors affect food market transaction costs (Fredriksson et al, 2017) (Wąs et al, 2021). Weather change factors and global climate change are also a threat to farmers (Li et al, 2021) (Beitnes, Kopainsky and Potthoff, 2022) (Pasaribu, 2010) (Retnowati et al, 2014).…”

The production of subsistence farmers dominates Lingga's agricultural commodities as an alternative food supply. However, this production helps meet food needs in Lingga Regency. Along with the development of regional development, to meet the needs and regional food security and guard against land conversion activities, it is necessary to protect agricultural land. This article aims to identify the implementation of the Sustainable Food Agricultural Land Protection Program in Lingga Regency, Riau Islands Province. This research is a qualitative study with a study approach that examines the government's efforts to overcome land conversion and support the productivity of subsistence farmers as alternative food suppliers by making policies to protect agricultural land for sustainable food. Research shows that to anticipate the occurrence of land conversion, the local government of Lingga Regency issued two regulations to ensure the protection of sustainable agricultural land and the determination of the area of rice fields. This study still has limitations, namely respondents for primary data sources, especially in farmer groups. As a result, additional research will be conducted to include subsistence farmers and monitor the policy progress of the sustainable Food and agriculture land conservation program in Lingga Regency.
