Australia has the largest area of certified organic agricultural land in the world, yet to date there has been no studies conducted on its diffusion. This study used local area census data from 2010/11 and 2015/16 across Australia with a SLX Tobit model to investigate what drove a three-fold increase in organic land area during this time-period. Overall, stronger evidence was found for local spatial spill-overs than global spill-overs, which is perhaps reflective of the difference between Australian and European agriculture. The results also found that community area attributes (e.g., larger farms with low stocking rates, higher irrigation, higher grazing and horticultural land, increased labour supply); environmental factors (located in drought affected areas, increased vegetation, good quality soil and high altitude); and socio-economic characteristics (rural areas characterised by low human population density, higher community income and proximity to urban centres) significantly increased the intensity of the diffusion process.

全球和地方空间溢出:什么对有机农业在澳大利亚的传播最重要?

澳大利亚拥有最大面积的经过认证的有机农业用地在世界范围内,迄今为止还没有对其扩散进行过研究。这项研究使用 2010/11 年和 2015/16 年澳大利亚各地的当地人口普查数据和 SLX Tobit 模型来调查是什么导致有机土地面积在这段时间内增加了三倍。总体而言,与全球溢出相比,发现了更有力的证据表明局部空间溢出,这可能反映了澳大利亚和欧洲农业之间的差异。结果还发现社区区域属性(例如,放养率低的大型农场、更高的灌溉、更高的放牧和园艺用地、更多的劳动力供应);环境因素(位于受干旱影响的地区、植被增加、土壤质量好和海拔高);和社会经济特征(人口密度低的农村地区,
