The measures considered are set-aside, catch crops and reduced fertilization. Contracts vary with respect to the area enrolled, contract length, possibility of premature termination, availability of professional advice and compensation. We quantitatively describe farmers' preferences in terms of their willingness-to-accept compensation for specific attributes of these contracts, if implemented. The results vary substantially between farm types (farmers' characteristics) and between the 5 countries, and support differentiation of contAmbioFarmers' preferences for nutrient and climate-related agri-environmental schemes: A cross-country comparison.PMC68146852015/19/N/HS4/033652015/19/D/HS4/01972Sonata 10Preludium 10Czajkowski MNielsen HOElofsson KPedersen ABZagorska KHasler BNiskanen OPeterson KSvensson THHansen LBKonrad MTNommann TPoltimae HfalseFarmers' preferences for nutrient and climate-related agri-environmental schemes: A cross-country comparison.We use data from a survey of 2439 farmers in 5 countries around the Baltic Sea (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Poland and Sweden) to investigate their preferences for adopting agricultural practices aimed at reducing nutrient leaching and greenhouse gas emissions.
