Contract attributes are strong motivators for eliciting farmers’ preferences for a particular agri-environmental scheme. Our study aims to conduct a systematic literature review to highlight the attributes used in choice experiment studies of agri-environmental schemes using the PRISMA framework. We obtained 34 studies for an in-depth review, through which we extracted 32 attributes that were classified into five typologies: ‘monetary’ (7 attributes), ‘general’ (4 attributes), ‘flexibility’ (6 attributes), ‘prescription’ (12 attributes), and ‘purpose’ (3 attributes). Though monetary attributes should theoretically define farmers’ choices; general design and flexibility attributes are more critical for farmers’ participation and willingness to accept. The study also discusses the lesser-used attributes that could be potentially explored in future studies. Thus, our review can be used as a reference by future AES studies to select their bundle of choice attributes and test with a broader range of attributes in their choice experiments.

“…Experimental choice modelling originates from market research, but is increasingly used in environmental, agricultural and development economics, in, for example, the analysis of the effect of food labelling on consumer behaviour (Loureiro and Umberger, 2007;Rousseau and Vranken, 2013), environmental conservation (Hope et al, 2008;De Valck et al, 2014), and agricultural technology adoption (Ward et al, 2014;Lambrecht et al, 2015). Choice experiments have previously been used to assess contract preferences in developing countries, specifically to assess farmers' preferences for production and marketing contracts in Vietnam and Ethiopia (Schipmann and Qaim, 2011;Abebe et al, 2013), and for labour contracts of health workers in rural areas (Mandeville et al, 2014).…”

The rapid transformation of the agri-food sector in developing countries has created rural off-farm employment opportunities, especially for women. There is growing concern about worker welfare and employment conditions in agri-food and export sectors, but empirical evidence on this issue is scant. We analyse contractual preferences of female workers in the horticultural export sector in Senegal. We use a discrete choice experiment to assess women's preferences for a labour contract and employ a latent class model to capture preference heterogeneity. We find that women have a high willingness to accept a labour contract in the horticultural export industry, and that differences in preferences for contract attributes can be explained by women's empowerment status.

“…Many of these studies applied choice experiment (CE) technique to analyze farmers’ preferences for specific characteristics (attributes) of the investigated issue, as for the agri-environmental subsidy schemes’ features. Contrary to this, to date the academic literature on farmers’ preferences for key design attributes of an EC scheme for agricultural products is rare, with the exception of few examples in developing countries (Hope et al, 2008; Ibnu et al, 2015).…”

Farmers’ willingness to pay for an environmental certification scheme: Promising evidence for water saving

In recent years, the certification of environmental sustainability has been adopted by a large number of farms. A wide range of recent literature proved consumers’ preference and willingness to pay (WTP) for certification claiming for reduced environmental impact of food production, whereas the literature on farmers’ preference for a specific scheme design is scant. This study aims at investigating the possibilities of developing an environmental certification (EC) for agricultural products that is more tailored to farmers’ expectations. Data from an original survey among 116 producers from Italy, Croatia, and Greece were used to investigate the most preferred elements of a hypothetical EC for a general agricultural product, by means of a choice experiment. Although differences emerge in relation to the nationality of respondents, the results on average suggest a clear preference and a higher WTP by farmers for a certification that may guarantee an efficient use of water resources. Furthermore, farmers are found to be more inclined toward a public certifying body and the possibility to receive technical assistance for the scheme adoption.
