“…The emergency risk of mutual fund assistance of farmers' professional cooperatives is a brand-new research perspective. An empirical analysis of the risk of mutual fund emergencies is not only conducive to promoting the development of rural cooperative finance but also has important research value and guiding significance for preventing the occurrence of mutual fund emergencies [2]. In the process of urbanization in China, farmers' willingness to move directly affects the process and direction of urbanization in China and is related to the speed, scale, and effect of urbanization.…”

The study of farmers’ migration choice behavior can reflect people’s needs for the future living environment from the side and has practical and important guiding significance for adjusting and improving the focus of future development. In order to make a detailed analysis of the prediction of migrant workers’ behavior in cities, this paper studies the internal mechanism of the change of commuters’ commuting patterns under the background of urban suburbanization. Using Bayesian network, this paper establishes a model of commuting mode transfer of urban immigrants, taking personal and family attributes as control variables. The influence of factors such as migration attributes and changes in building environment perception before and after migration is analyzed. Based on the survey data, a Bayesian network of farmers’ land use behavior is established by using Bayesian network method to investigate the choice of farmers’ migration direction. In the research process of migration direction, the research structure shows that 60.1% of farmers want to stay in the countryside, rather than migrate through Bayesian network algorithm. The results of regression analysis by establishing a multivariate logistic model show that there is a strong willingness to choose small towns and large cities. However, the willingness to choose not to relocate to local villages is relatively weak.

Our definition of buyout schemes also excludes 'set-aside' schemes that financially compensated farmers to temporarily reduce parts of their production as well as regulation that partly cuts production or emission rights of livestock farmers.…”

“…Most often, these schemes are voluntary, but can also be mandatory: the law that terminated mink farming (2013/2020) in the Netherlands is an example. We distinguish between voluntary buyout schemes and schemes that focus on relocating farms for reasons of land consolidation, flood risk management or other rural development objectives (De Pue et al ., 2021). Our definition of buyout schemes also excludes ‘set‐aside’ schemes that financially compensated farmers to temporarily reduce parts of their production as well as regulation that partly cuts production or emission rights of livestock farmers.…”

SummaryDirect intervention in the size of livestock numbers is not considered a main option in European agri‐environmental policies nor in policy studies. Nevertheless, the governments of the Netherlands and Flanders (Belgium) have announced livestock buyout schemes. This article contributes to the scarce literature on this policy instrument by sketching the characteristics of different types of buyout schemes. We analyse how the issue of reducing livestock numbers is being framed in four EU Member States with high livestock dense regions: the Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders), Denmark and Germany. While the debate on ‘technology versus volume’ can be observed in all four countries, the ‘nitrogen crises’ in the first two has led to a reframing of concerns over livestock numbers in relation to place‐based deterioration of habitats and the possibility of granting permits for new economic activities, rather than as a global issue of mitigating climate change. Pre‐existing institutional frameworks influence the introduction and design of new buyout policies. In the context of high political pressure, existing policies to close down farms were reinforced and nutrient emission rights systems offered the opportunity to take production rights out of the market. Notwithstanding the policies and available budgets, the issue of direct intervention to reduce livestock numbers remains controversial.

Stricter nutrient surplus and lower emission targets are placing adaptation pressure on livestock farms in European countries, while the public debate on how farms should react upon this pressure is controversial. In this paper, we performed an integrative literature review on different farm adaptation options, including (i) structural adaptation, (ii) technological adaptation, (iii) manure redistribution, and (iv) farm system conversion. Our analysis showed that stricter environmental legislation, together with complementary supply- and demand-related drivers, induced various farm responses. These ranged from easy to implement solutions (e.g. moderate livestock destocking to the legal levels combined with the adoption of emission abatement technologies) to novel niche concepts (e.g. animal husbandry without slaughtering). Possible reactions of farmers differed in their complexity and feasibility across different farm types and involved different trade-offs between environmental and socioeconomic interests. Future livestock production is expected to be diverse with different coexisting models that combine features of different adaptation options. The private and public sustainability of these models depends on their ability to simultaneously address multiple emerging challenges (e.g. emission reduction, animal welfare, biosecurity, and circularity). Current technological solutions often focus on a single objective (e.g. emission reduction). Integrated and multifunctional solutions (e.g. low-emission animal welfare barns compatible with biosecurity measures) are not yet sufficiently adopted, which calls for a rethinking and shifting in priorities in legislation and funding schemes.
