This paper examines the possibilities of developing agri-environmental policy measures in Israel, focusing on market-oriented
instruments. A conceptual framework for developing agri-environmental policy measures is presented, first in very broad lines
(mandatory regulations, economic instruments and advisory measures) and subsequently focusing on economic instruments, and
specifically, on market-oriented ones. Two criteria of choice between the measures are suggested: their contribution to improving
the effectiveness of the policy; and the feasibility of their implementation. This is the framework used for analyzing agri-environmental
measures in Israel. Israel currently implements a mix of mandatory regulations, economic instruments and advisory measures
to promote the agri-environment. The use of additional economic instruments may improve the effectiveness of the policy. When
comparing the effectiveness of various economic measures, we found that the feasibility of implementation of market-oriented
instruments is greater, due to the Israeli public’s preference for strengthening market orientation in the agricultural sector.
Four market-oriented instruments were practiced in a pilot project conducted in an Israeli rural area. We found that in this
case study, the institutional feasibility and acceptance by stakeholders were the major parameters influencing the implementation
of the market-oriented instruments, whereas the instruments’ contribution to enhancing the ecological or economic effectiveness
were hardly considered by the stakeholders as arguments in favor of their use. 相似文献

In Brazil’s semi-arid Northeast, most rural dwellers derive income from the dry Caatinga forest through livestock farming, fruit collection, and firewood extraction. However, recurring droughts and inadequate land use practices jeopardize farmers’ livelihoods. The drought-resistant, endemic Umbuzeiro tree provides fruit for direct consumption and allows for the creation of transformed products. The planting of this native species can enhance the well-being of the ecosystem and establish future benefits for smallholdings. However, it is crucial that when taking up innovative practices to cope with environmental change, a willingness to apply them should be fostered among local farmers. We used constellation analysis as a transdisciplinary approach to identify elements of current land management which subsequently defined the nodes of a Bayesian network (BN). We developed probabilities of practice uptake that strengthen success, namely the conservation of natural resources while securing the incomes of smallholders. In collaboration with stakeholders and experts, 25 identified nodes for the BN were tested under various scenarios. Adopting all suggested innovative practices secures the final objectives—ecosystem health and farmer benefits (approx. 90%). The analysis quantified the relevance of single issues that may impede farmers to adopt the practices, such as having to cultivate seedlings or avoiding long-term investments. Further crucial actions include the fencing-off of livestock and marketing pathways. Affordable credit, research, and supportive farmers’ institutions can encourage farmers to implement innovative practices. The use of modeled scenarios can provide evidence, which might encourage sustainable land management. 相似文献
