英文文献：Tobacco Farmer Interest and Success in Diversification-烟草农民的利益和多样化的成功
英文文献作者：Jones, Alison Snow,Beach, Robert H.,Johnston, Stephen A.
英文文献摘要：
As U.S. farm income from tobacco production has declined in recent years, there has been increased interest in developing alternative sources of farm revenue to replace lost tobacco income, particularly in tobacco-dependent communities of the southeastern United States. The recent end of the tobacco quota program is expected to accelerate the exit of tobacco farmers and has heightened concern regarding the availability of profitable substitutes for tobacco. In this study, we examine the impact of farm, household, and market characteristics on tobacco farmer interest and success in on-farm and off-farm income diversification. Using survey data collected from a panel of North Carolina tobacco farmers in 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2004 combined with market data collected from secondary sources, we evaluate the influence of farmer preferences, resource endowments, market incentives, risk, and biophysical factors on tobacco farmers' attitudes regarding diversification into non-tobacco products, the extent to which they reallocated resources towards non-tobacco products, and their success in identifying profitable alternatives to tobacco production. Our research contributes empirical findings to the public dialogue concerning the ability of tobacco farmers and tobacco-dependent communities to adjust to structural changes taking place in the tobacco market.
近年来，由于美国农业从烟草生产中获得的收入有所下降，人们越来越有兴趣开发其他农业收入来源，以弥补烟草收入的损失，特别是在美国东南部依赖烟草的社区。最近结束的烟草配额计划预计将加速烟草种植者的退出，并使人们更加关注有利可图的烟草替代品的供应情况。在本研究中，我们考察了农场、家庭和市场特征对烟草农户在农场和非农收入多样化方面的利益和成功的影响。使用调查数据收集从北卡罗来纳面板种植烟草的农民们在1997年,1999年,2001年和2004年结合市场通过第二手来源收集的数据,我们评估农民偏好的影响,资源禀赋、市场激励机制,风险,和生物物理因素对烟草农民的态度关于多样化非香烟产品,在多大程度上他们对非香烟产品重新分配资源,以及他们成功地找到了烟草生产的有利可图的替代品。我们的研究为有关烟农和烟草依赖社区适应烟草市场正在发生的结构性变化的能力的公共对话提供了实证结果。
