Dataset: Swiss citizens preferences and perceptions of agricultural policy
(2023)Here, we present representative survey data from 1542 Swiss citizens. Data were collected across the three largest Swiss language regions (German, French and Italian) in Autumn 2022. In the main part of the survey, we collected qualitative and quantitative data on their perception of agricultural policy goals and potential trade-offs. For this, participants were first asked to name the three most important agricultural policy goals. Next, ...Dataset -

Data: When my neighbors matter: spillover effects in the adoption of large-scale pesticide-free wheat production
(2023)Datasets to replicate results from "When my neighbors matter: spillover effects in the adoption of large-scale pesticide-free wheat production" by Wang, Möhring, and Finger (2023). Due to restricted information (farm coordinates) contained in raw data, compiled data for regression analysis are published.

Data: Pest Prevention, Risk and Risk Management: the Case of Drosophila suzukii
(2022)This dataset contains Swiss wine grape growers’ management strategies against D. suzukii, risk preference and perception, and is based on surveys by Knapp et al. (2018) in 2016, 2017, and 2018. The here presented dataset additionally contains neighborhood averages of pest management strategies. Analyses in Wang and Finger (2022) are based on the dataset, R code available on https://github.com/ivoryday/pest_prevention.git.Dataset -
Data on Swiss grapevine growers’ production, pest management and risk management decisions
(2022)This dataset contains data from 436 grapevine growers in Switzerland. It includes answers to 65 questions about production, pest and risk management decisions. A particular emphasis was placed on knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions about fungus-resistant grapevine varieties. Moreover, characteristics of the farm manager and the farm as well as environmental data from weather stations is included. We received ethical approval from the ...Dataset -
Bio-economic model on benefits of increasing information accuracy in variable rate technologies
(2021)This bio-economic modeling framework assesses the benefits of different sensor approaches to measuring environmental heterogeneity in the field, ranging from the use of satellite imagery to drones and portable N sensors, in variable rate fertilization. The model is described in detail in the following article: Späti, K., Huber, R., & Finger, R. (2021). Benefits of Increasing Information Accuracy in Variable Rate Technologies. Ecological ...Model -

Data on an economic and environmental assessment of a glyphosate ban for the example of maize production in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
(2020)This data is used as input for a bio-economic model that calculates optimal weed control strategies for cultivation of silage maize in North-Rhine-Westphalia and can be used to simulate agri-environmental policy scenarios such as a glyphosate ban. The model can be used to assess changes in the Energy Output and the Load of the used pesticides under different scenarios. The model is described in detail in the following article: Böcker, ...Data Collection
