Conteúdo: | Recent attention concerning low-input, sustainable agriculture systems brings to the forefront concern that conventional agricultural production methods result in a "social trap". The term refers to situations in which and individual or society starts in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant or lethal, with no easy way to change or avoid the situation (7, 10, 11). A social trap typically occurs when conficts ixist betwwen highly motivating, short-run rewards and long-run consequences. A social trap also occurs when a personal reward or punishment conflicts with a group's goals. In this case an individual acts for his or her personal gain and in the process prevents the group from obtaining a reward or objective. In designing publicpolicy to encourtage sustainable agriculture, a major onsideration is the tendency of individual behavior to be motivated more by immediate personal gain than by the long-run public interest - which leads to a social trap.
