This paper studies a Green Public Procurement (GPP) policy decided by the Swedish government in 2006, stating objectives related to organic farming. The policy aims to increase the public sector's organic food purchases, in order to incentivise Swedish farmers to convert to organic practices, thereby contributing to national environmental quality objectives. We analyse the effect of organic food procurement on organic agricultural land, using panel data from 2003 to 2016 including information on municipalities' organic food purchases, land use, and direct subsidies aimed at organic production. Based on different specifications and mainly FGLS estimations, we conclude that the 2006 organic food policy is associated with a significant positive impact on organic agricultural land. A significant effect of direct agricultural policy in the form of subsidies is also found.

绿色公共采购如何推动农田转化：有机食品政策的实证分析

本文研究了瑞典政府于 2006 年制定的绿色公共采购 (GPP) 政策，阐明了与有机农业相关的目标。该政策旨在增加公共部门的有机食品采购，以激励瑞典农民转向有机做法，从而为国家环境质量目标做出贡献。我们使用 2003 年至 2016 年的面板数据分析了有机食品采购对有机农业用地的影响，包括市政有机食品采购、土地使用和针对有机生产的直接补贴的信息。基于不同的规范，主要是 FGLS 估计，我们得出结论，2006 年有机食品政策对有机农业用地产生了显着的积极影响。
