“…The agricultural impact in terms of nitrate diffuse pollution shows high levels of spatial variation depending on hydroclimatic conditions, soil types and agricultural practices. The adaptation of measures to local conditions is thus of importance for an effective reduction of water pollution (Lacroix et al, 2010). However, designing precise measures may be very costly for public agencies in terms of information collection and processing.…”

“…Dans la partie suivante, nous nous concentrons sur des modes d'intervention foncière. Appliqué au cas de la pollution nitrique de l'eau par l'agriculture française, Lacroix et al (2006) démontrent l'intérêt de la territorialisation des politiques environnementales. Nous proposons de pousser la rélexion un peu plus loin en analysant en quoi le foncier peut aussi être un puissant levier des politiques publiques visant à améliorer la qualité de l'eau.…”

Au travers d'une revue de littérature en sciences économiques, les auteures envisagent le recours à l'intervention foncière pour la reconquête de la qualité de l'eau. Elles mettent en évidence les différentes formes d'intervention publique ayant un effet sur le foncier et pouvant contribuer à l'amélioration de la qualité de l'eau. Les auteures reviennent sur les différentes stratégies de sélection des terres à préserver en priorité dans un contexte budgétaire contraint pour inalement souligner l'importance de la totalité des coûts liés à l'intervention foncière, qu'ils soient ex ante, ex post, directs ou indirects. MOTS-CLÉS : marché foncier, qualité de l'eau, usage du sol, occupation du sol Agricultural land, water quality and public policy: a literature review Through a literature review in economics, the authors propose to consider land intervention to achieve water quality objectives. They bring to the fore public policies that impact land and that can be implemented to improve water quality. Then they detail land selection strategies that can be implemented when the budget is limited. Finally, they show how the consideration of all the costs of public intervention, whether ex ante, ex post, direct or indirect, is paramount in the design of public policy.

“…For instance, Westra and Olson (2001) use a positive mathematical programming model of a stylized watershed for two different crops, phosphorous effluents and tax differentiation based on "agroecoregions", which are distinguished by their edaphic and climatic conditions. The study by Lacroix et al (2010) is based on the STICS crop model combined with an economic model, and tests the effects of soil/practice differentiation of policies for a given water body. These two studies show that tax differentiation can produce substantial efficiency gains.…”

Impact of Spatial Differentiation of Nitrogen Taxes on French Farms’ Compliance Costs

The spatial differentiation of input-based pollution fees should in theory decrease compliance costs in the case of nitrate pollution of water bodies from agriculture because both the damage and the compliance costs vary over space. However, the empirical evidence in the literature does not agree on the extent of the potential savings from differentiation. We address this issue in the case of France, using a mathematical programming model of agricultural supply (AROPAj). The modeling approach used accounts for the spatial diversity of nitrate pollution and the heterogeneity of farming systems. Our results reveal the efficiency gains from differentiating pollution fees among polluters and water bodies. For instance, firm-specific and water body-specific taxes represent respectively 5.8% and 32.5% of farmers' gross margin in terms of compliance costs, whereas a uniform policy at the river-basin district or national level leads to major economic losses and abandonment of the agricultural activity. These results stem from the lower tax rates faced by farmers in less polluted areas, for scenarios based on spatial differentiation. Our estimates suggest that realistic regulation via input-based pollution fees should be differentiated in order to significantly reduce the financial burden on farmers of conforming to predefined pollution levels. Some potential adverse effects related to input-based taxation and land use change call for additional fine-scale nitrogen pollution regulation (e.g. limitations on crop switching).
