英文文献摘要:
This series of six reports entitled: "On-Farm Food Safety and Environmental Farm Plans: Identifying and Classifying Benefits and Costs" was initiated soon after the launch of the Agricultural Policy Framework (APF) in 2002. The APF recognized the importance of food safety and environmental concerns for the future growth of the agriculture and Agri-food sector. For this reason, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) commissioned this series of reports to develop a conceptual framework to strengthen our understanding of the potential benefit and cost implications of On-farm Food Safety (OFFS) and Environmental Farm Plans (EFP) that were key components of the APF. The reports were prepared by a group of academics with extensive knowledge of the agriculture and Agri-food sector and issues related to food safety, traceability and the environment. The first report presents a summary of the findings in the five main reports in the series. The second report presents the conceptual framework that was developed to help identify qualitatively the potential benefits and costs that the various players in the agriculture and agri-food supply chain would face in implementing OFFS and EFP programs. The third report applies this framework to pork, the fourth, to beef, the fifth, to grains and the sixth, to dairy. In general, benefits and costs are divided into both demand and supply side effects. In addition, both public and private costs and benefits are considered, especially since they help indicate where a role for government might be required and where markets are not working as well as they might. Based on these preliminary qualitative assessments, the beef and pork sector have more to gain from HACCP-based OFFS and EFP initiatives, due to their ability to gain market share from marketing their products internationally, while the grains sector already benefits internationally from its high quality reputation and the dairy sector is restricted to produce only for the domestic market. However, more work is required in these areas to validate and quantify costs and benefits.
在2002年农业政策框架(APF)启动后不久,就开始了题为"农场食品安全和环境农场计划:确定和分类效益和成本"的六份系列报告。亚太方案基金认识到食品安全和环境问题对农业和农业食品部门未来增长的重要性。为此,加拿大农业与农业食品协会(AAFC)委托撰写了这一系列报告,以发展一个概念框架,以加强我们对农场食品安全和环境农场计划(EFP)的潜在效益和成本影响的理解,这是APF的关键组成部分。这些报告是由一批对农业和农业食品部门以及与食品安全、可追溯性和环境有关的问题具有广泛知识的学者编写的。第一份报告概述了该系列的五份主要报告的调查结果。第二份报告提出了概念框架,其目的是帮助定性地确定农业和农业食品供应链中各参与方在实施废物回收利用计划和EFP计划时将面临的潜在利益和成本。第三份报告将这种框架应用于猪肉,第四份报告应用于牛肉,第五份报告应用于谷物,第六份报告应用于乳制品。一般来说,收益和成本分为需求和供给的副作用。此外,还考虑了公共和私人的成本和利益,特别是因为它们有助于指出哪些地方可能需要政府发挥作用,哪些地方的市场没有发挥应有的作用。根据这些初步定性评估,牛肉和猪肉行业中获得从HACCP-based偏移和EFP方案,由于他们的能力从国际营销他们的产品获得市场份额,而谷物部门已经从它的高质量的国际声誉和乳品行业只限制生产的国内市场。然而,在这些领域还需要做更多的工作来验证和量化成本和收益。
