该论文旨在研究法国耕地农民减少农药使用的效果以及将农药使用量减少一半的政策目标的可行性。该方法的独创性在于结合统计数据和专家知识来描述国家层面的低投入替代技术。这些数据用于数学规划模型，以模拟实现不同水平的农药减少对土地利用、生产和农民收入的影响。结果表明，在不减少农民收入的情况下，可以减少 30% 的农药使用量。我们还估算了实现不同程度减少农药使用所需的农药税水平，以及农药税与低投入技术补贴相结合的激励机制的效果。 (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
The paper aims to study the effects of reducing pesticide use by farmers in the arable sector in France and the feasibility of a policy target of reducing pesticide use by half. The originality of the approach is to combine statistical data and expert knowledge to describe low-input alternative techniques at the national level. These data are used in a mathematical programming model to simulate the effect on land use, production and farmers' income of achieving different levels of pesticide reduction. The results show that reducing pesticide use by 30% could be possible without reducing farmers' income. We also estimate the levels of tax on pesticides necessary to achieve different levels of reduction of pesticide use and the effect of an incentive mechanism combining a pesticide tax with subsidies for low-input techniques.
