本論文は、EUの家族経営農場における再生可能エネルギー生産がエネルギーコストをどの程度賄えるかを、FSDNデータ（2014-2023年）を用いて分析。エネルギーコストカバレッジ比率は30.9～39.2%で推移し、再エネ生産量は増加したがエネルギーコストも同時に上昇したため、改善は限定的。経済規模クラス間で大きな差があり、決定要因はクラスによって異なる。農場規模に応じた政策支援の必要性を示唆。
English
This study analyzes how much renewable energy production covers energy costs in EU family farms using FSDN data (2014-2023). The Energy Cost Coverage Ratio remained between 30.9% and 39.2% despite a rise in renewable output, as energy costs also increased. Significant differences across farm size classes were found, with varying determinants. Results highlight the need for tailored policy support.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では農業部門の再エネ導入が進んでいないが、本論文の分析手法は日本の農家のエネルギーコスト分析に応用可能である。農林水産省のデータを用いて同様の研究を行うことで、日本の農業のエネルギー自立度を評価する手掛かりとなる。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on the economic viability of renewable energy in agriculture, contributing to the global understanding of energy transition in the farming sector. It underscores the importance of farm-size-specific policies, relevant for regions designing agricultural energy strategies under net-zero targets.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Offers panel data methods for studying energy cost coverage in agriculture, relevant for renewable energy economics or agricultural sustainability research.
🏢実務担当者:Farmers and cooperatives can assess the economic benefits of renewable investments, noting that full cost coverage is challenging without policy support.
🏛政策担当者:Indicates that one-size-fits-all policies are insufficient; farm-size-specific incentives are needed to promote renewable energy adoption in agriculture.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study examines whether renewable energy production is capable of covering energy costs in European Union family farms and identifies the determinants of the Energy Cost Coverage Ratio across different economic size classes. The analysis was based on Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN) data for 2014-2023 and combined descriptive statistics with panel data models. The results indicate that the Energy Cost Coverage Ratio remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 30.9% and 39.2%, despite a substantial increase in renewable energy production from €1594 to €2999 per farm. This limited improvement resulted from a simultaneous rise in energy costs, which increased from €5162 to €8465 per farm over the analysed period. Considerable differences in the Energy Cost Coverage Ratio were observed between economic size classes, while panel data models showed that its determinants vary across farm classes, with no single factor being significant for all classes. The findings suggest that renewable energy has strengthened the economic resilience of European farms, but its contribution remains insufficient to fully offset rising energy expenditures, highlighting the need for farm-size-specific policy support.
