This study showcases a new class of administrative, geo-spatial data sourced from agricultural subsidy registers as a powerful tool for agricultural policy evaluation. Beyond full national coverage and accurate identification of land use, the key novel feature of GeoSpatial Aid Application...

This paper develops a tractable integrated assessment model of the two-way interaction between biodiversity and the economy. To capture the main causes of biodiversity loss and the economic harm from it, we focus on agriculture and its expansion at the expense of forest land. We answer the...

Studies assessing the economic impact of the F2F strategy estimate significant losses in EU-27 agricultural production and global changes in markets that will affect other regions. We contribute with an estimate of the impact on individual EU Member States, which has not been assessed so far....

Legume crops, the production of which is related to their use in animal nutrition (referred to in this study as "legumes for livestock-LL" and include species such as bean, lupin, pea, vetch and clover), have positive effects on the economic performance of farms and environmental outcomes,...

Few policies have been as heavily criticised as European agricultural policy. Consequently, since its establishment in 1962, it has been in a continuous process of reform, encompassing six major reforms in the last 30 years alone. The central question arises: What is the logic behind the endless...

The article describes the reform path of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) since 1992. The largest share of agricultural subsidies in Germany (€7.2 billion) is granted through the CAP with significant room for manoeuvre in terms of content. Between 1992-2013, the old, protectionist CAP...

Since the coronavirus pandemic and Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, faltering globalisation and logistics problems have been challenging the agricultural and food industry. EU production and trade developments are presented and the possible consequences for EU agricultural policy are...

The objective of this study is to perform an ex-ante assessment of the potential impacts of agro-environmental measures included in the post-2020 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), by estimating farmers' responsiveness in adopting organic agricultural practices and an eco-scheme that incentivises...

In this paper, we address a gap in the literature concerning pollination management, the pollinator deficit, and conservation objectives. By employing a farm level survey of UK farmers, we examine farmers' attitudes, understanding and management of pollinators. Based on descriptive statistics...

The common agricultural policy (CAP) is a key European Union policy area, making up 31 % of the EU budget. The new CAP for the period 2023-2027 aims for increased environmental and climate ambition. It builds on Plans defined by each member state. We conclude that the Plans are greener than in...

Smart Specialisation in the Western Balkans revealed that agri-food features as one of the most common priority areas in the region with the strongest potential for growth. Although the Smart Specialisation process revealed many strengths, the agri-food sector in the Western Balkans is still...

While remaining competitive, farmers should work in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner, and maintain our soils and biodiversity. Business uncertainties and the environmental impact of farming justify the significant role that the public sector plays for our farmers. Launched in...

Based on the concept of a 'future workshop', this paper contributes to the understanding of major conflict lines and future pathways for animal farming in Germany. Participants in the future workshop were tasked with outlining their ideal vision of the future of animal farming, focusing on both...

The issue of food has evolved significantly in recent years throughout Europe, under the pressure of environmental and climate constraints as well as a set of factors related to food dependence and changes in consumption patterns. Short circuit practices, embedded in localized agrifood systems,...

This article explores a new government policy in Quebec, the Plan de développement d'une communauté nourricière (plan for developing food self-reliant communities), and its possibilities as a niche for socio-territorial innovation. Beyond the issue of food, the policy creates an opportunity...

Conservation of biodiversity at the field, farm and landscape levels is one of the agroecological principles. In Europe low-intensity farming practices which promote farmland biodiversity are financially supported by different agri-environment measures as part of the rural development policy...
