Growing global food demands place major strains on water resources, including quality impairments and increased water scarcity. Drawing on the largely separate bodies of literature on externalities and technological innovation, this article develops a dynamic framework to explore the long‐term impacts of alternative policy approaches to the agricultural impacts on water resources. Environmental policies, which focus on correcting environmental externalities, lead to an overall gain because costs to farmers are more than offset by reduced environmental damages. Technology policies, which direct public investments into agricultural eco‐innovations, lead to benefits for farmers as well as the environment. Joint implementation of both types of policies leads to the largest overall gain. In principle, a technology policy alone could have greater environmental benefits than an environmental policy alone. This outcome is most likely in cases where the productivity effect of new technology is large and the cost of research is low.

创新是自然资源保护的政策策略

全球粮食需求的增长给水资源带来了很大的压力,包括质量下降和水资源短缺。本文利用有关外部性和技术创新的文献大体分开,建立了一个动态框架,以探讨替代性政策方法对农业对水资源的影响的长期影响。专注于纠正环境外部性的环境政策带来了总体收益,因为农民的成本已被减少的环境损害所抵消。将公共投资引导到农业生态创新中的技术政策为农民和环境带来了收益。联合执行这两种类型的政策可带来最大的总体收益。原则上,单单一项技术政策可能比单一项环境政策具有更大的环境效益。在新技术的生产率影响大且研究成本低的情况下,这种结果最可能发生。
