Title: The Uptake of Green Finance Tools in Agriculture - Results of a Q-methodology

Abstract: In this period of climate change, green finance is expected to have complex
consequences to address economic and environmental risks by improving the
profitability of individual activities. There are clearly identifiable areas of green
development in agriculture that require such funding. Our research investigates
the effectiveness of green finance tools in financing the sustainable development
of the pig sector, a key agricultural sub-sector. The results of a Q-methodology
study carried out with actors in the product chain showed that green finance is an
unknown area for them. They are uncertain and pessimistic about whether and to
what extent green finance tools can contribute to the development of the sector,
but all share the view that sustainable investment in the sector may require public
intervention. The use of economic policy instruments may therefore be necessary
to make a sector-specific green finance programme a success.
