Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="fr"> In zahlreichen EU-Ländern haben kleinere landwirtschaftliche Betriebe bislang eine bemerkenswerte Ausdauer angesichts rückläufiger Realeinkommen in der Landwirtschaft und einer zunehmenden Kluft zwischen landwirtschaftlichem und außerlandwirtschaftlichem Einkommen gezeigt. In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, inwiefern die günstigen Arbeitsmarktbedingungen außerhalb der Landwirtschaft in Kombination mit der Bodenwerterhöhung zu der beobachteten Widerstandsfähigkeit der kleineren landwirtschaftlichen Familienbetriebe beigetragen haben. Zur Analyse haben wir Daten aus Nordirland herangezogen. Unsere Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass das Verhalten der landwirtschaftlichen Haushalte nicht allein von der aktuellen Einkommenssituation, sondern auch von den erwarteten Kapitalerträgen beeinflusst wird. Wohlstandswachstum, das mit fortgesetztem Eigentum an Land in Verbindung steht, gibt Anlass zu der Behauptung, dass eine Verbindung besteht zwischen außerlandwirtschaftlichen Einkommen, Bodenwerterhöhungen sowie der Aufrechterhaltung der landwirtschaftlichen Tätigkeit und dem wohlstandsmaximierenden Verhalten von Landwirten, die gleichzeitig ihre ländliche Lebensart pflegen. In diesem Zusammenhang hat die Kapitalisierung der Agrarsubventionen in Bodenwerte im Rahmen der sukzessiven Reformen der GAP die Landwirte darin bestärkt, Land in Erwartung zukünftiger Gewinne vom Markt zurückzuhalten. Zusätzlich erschweren Steuervorteile für Land die Anpassung. Neben dem Wohlstandswachstum durch Landeigentum führt die Studie außerlandwirtschaftliche Einkommensquellen und insbesondere außerlandwirtschaftliches Einkommen aus nichtselbstständiger Arbeit als wichtigste Faktoren für die Sicherstellung der Zukunftsfähigkeit kleinerer landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe an.
