Resumen
Descripción
The article analyzes some regulatory mechanisms preventing agricultural abandonment by the
introduction of some particular changes in the marginal benefits of farming. Two farming
methods are considered: intensive and extensive. When the authors analyze the policy
recovering the abandoned land with intensive farms they conclude that there exists a
decoupled policy that maintains constant the agricultural revenue without any regulatory cost.
When the authors analyze the policy recovering the abandoned land with extensive farms they
conclude that recovering the abandoned land necessary requires the implementation of partial
decoupled policies. The completely decoupled policies in the model require the substitution of
intensive with extensive farms, and so the increase of the regulatory funds.
