Viable farm households contribute to the resilience of agricultural and food systems. Farm income is a policy-relevant proxy for this viability. Here, we address three key aspects of farm income: first, the income issue, focusing on (average) income levels; second, the variability issue, focusing on income risks faced by farmers; and third, the inequality issue, focusing on the heterogeneity and (in-)equalities of farm incomes. This special issue presents new perspectives on measurement, modelling, development and policies related to the income of farm families in Europe, especially in the light of increasing complexity of farms and policies and risk exposure.

欧洲农业的农业收入：衡量政策评估的新视角和影响

有活力的农户有助于农业和粮食系统的复原力。农场收入是这种可行性的政策相关代理。在这里，我们讨论农业收入的三个关键方面：第一，收入问题，关注（平均）收入水平；二是可变性问题，重点关注农民面临的收入风险；第三，不平等问题，关注农业收入的异质性和（不）不平等。本期特刊介绍了与欧洲农场家庭收入相关的衡量、建模、发展和政策的新视角，特别是考虑到农场和政策日益复杂以及风险敞口。
