partnership) are much more efficient than pure public 
forms given coordination, incentives, and control 
advantages. In majority of cases, involvement of 
farmers, agrarian organizations and other beneficiaries 
increases efficiency, decreases asymmetry of infor-
mation, restricts opportunisms, increases incentives for 
private costs-sharing, and reduces management costs. 
For instance, a hybrid mode would be appropriate for 
carrying out the supply of preservation of environment, 
biodiversity, landscape, historical and cultural heritages 
etc. That is determined by farmers information 
superiority, strong interlinks of activity with traditional 
food production (economy of scope), high assets 
specificity to the farm (farmers competence, high cite-
specificity of investments to the farm and land), and 
spatial interdependency (needs for cooperation of

important – farm’s origin of negative externalities. 
Furthermore, enforcement of most labor, animal 
welfare, biodiversity etc. standards is often very difficult 
or impossible. In all these cases, stimulating and 
supporting (assisting, training, funding) private voluntary 
actions are much more effective then mandatory public 
modes in terms of incentive, coordination, enforcement, 
and disputing costs.

If there is a strong need for third-party public 
involvement but effective (government, local authority, 
international assistance) intervention is not introduced in 
a due time, then agrarian “development” is substantially 
deformed. Consequently, all class of socially needed 
eco-activities and investment are blocked, natural 
resources are degradated or pollutes in large scales, 
sustainability of farms structures in reduces etc.
