“…How farmers in the NMS view EU agricultural policy and the nature of their intentions is thus of great importance for predicting the future water use of an enlarged EU. While there has been some research on the attitudes of key agricultural policy actors in Central and Eastern Europe (Slangen et al, 2004), to date evidence on farmers' attitudes and their behavioural intentions in the NMS has received little attention. Indeed, Gorton et al (2008) studied the farmer's structural reactions to decoupling in five European States (France, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden and England) and found that the behaviour of farmers varies significantly between states in the enlarged EU due to the different historical traditions of farming and incidence of support.…”

This work is the result of the research under CAP-IRE (Common Agricultural Policies on Rural Economies) project where the effects of post 2013 CAP scenarios are investigated. The broad objective is the understanding of farmer's reactions under CAP scenarios taking into account a long-term perspective by 2020. The analysis is based on 1,328 observations of household farmers across 11 case study regions in nine EU countries. The stated responses are analyzed in order to stress the influence of the next CAP reform on the farmer's decision process of using more or less water resources on-farm. For this purpose the farmer's responses to the CAP reforms are analyzed by a logistic model regression. According to the results, farmer's behaviour would be slightly influenced by the CAP reform. However, significant regional differences are found according to the model regressions. Indeed, in the case of new member states, farmers would have a greater intention to decrease water use if the current CAP support was abolished. Yet factors such as the amount of CAP supports, farmland size, crop specialization, farmer's age and altitude, are significant determinants of reaction to the CAP reforms. Taking into account the depicted influence on water use opportunities for re-addressing next policy design emerge.Additional key words: agricultural policy; farmer's intended behaviour; irrigation water; logistic regression. Resumen Influencia de la Política Agraria Comunitaria en las intenciones de los agricultores sobre el uso de aguaEste trabajo es un resultado del proyecto CAP-IRE (Política Agraria Comunitaria sobre la Economía Rural) que analiza los efectos de la reforma de la PAC después de 2013. El objetivo del proyecto es comprender las reacciones del agricultor tomando como horizonte la fecha de 2020. En particular el presente trabajo se centra en el análisis de las decisiones del agricultor en relación al uso del agua, es decir incremento o decremento en el uso del recurso hídrico. El análisis está basado en 1.328 observaciones de agricultores a través de 11 regiones en nueve países de la Unión Europea. Las respuestas a las intenciones de decisión en función de la reforma de la PAC se analizaron mediante regresión logística para investigar las variables socio-económicas significativas de reacción a los escenarios de la PAC. De acuerdo con los resultados una reforma de la PAC influenciaría muy poco las decisiones del agricultor sobre el uso de agua, si bien en alguna región cabría esperarse un decremento en el uso del recurso en un escenario de abolición total de las subvenciones. Entre otros factores que explican las diferencias de intención de uso del agua se hallan el nivel de subvenciones, el tamaño de la explotación, el tipo de cultivo, edad del agricultor y altitud. De los resultados de la investigación se derivan implicaciones para la mejora de la sostenibilidad de uso del recurso de cara al futuro de la PAC.Palabras clave adicionales: agua de riego; intenciones de decisión del agricultor; política agraria; regre...

Farmers' attitudes, to agricultural production, diversification and policy support, and behavioural intentions in five Member States of the EU (France, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden, England) are analysed comparatively. Groups of farmers with similarly held attitudes are identified using cluster analysis to investigate whether differences in attitudes are defined predominately according to national, east-west, size or other criteria. The results highlight that the vast majority of farmers in the enlarged EU retain a productivist mindset, wish to maintain an agricultural focus and strongly reject notions of policy liberalisation. However, while the overwhelming majority advocate protection they are more receptive to greater flexibility in terms of the instruments through which policy support may be delivered. Overall, the strongest opposition to policy liberalisation comes from farmers in the New Member States of the EU. r

“…However, it has been observed that similar endowments of production factors do not necessarily lead to similar economic results (see e.g. SLANGEN et al 2004;LEE et al 2005). Therefore, we argue that there is an additional, so far under-rated factor of production, which significantly affects agricultural income among household plot farmers in Ukraine.…”
