The efficiency of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy in mitigating the negative effects of agricultural intensification on the landscape and biodiversity is increasingly being questioned. Enhancing a reciprocal understanding of various stakeholders’ mental models of agro-social-ecosystems has been proposed to trigger changes in both policy design and farmers’ behaviors. However, the relationship between farmers’ mental models and practices is rarely considered. Here, we explore the relationship between farmers’ individual mental models (IMMs) of the agricultural landscape and their land management practices. To do so, we developed a theoretical and methodological framework grounded in cognitive... |

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has identified a number of soil-management strategies that can be implemented to reduce GHG emissions. However, before deciding which of these strategies are most appropriate in any given situation, it is important to investigate how these strategies affect other aspects of sustainable development. For instance, some attempts to sequester carbon in the landscape could alter the soil’s capacity to filter water. Alternatively, other strategies could unintentionally increase net energy consumption through greater fertilizer use. Focusing specifically on opportunities to implement soil-management strategies in the European Union (EU), we discuss the synergies and trade-offs of those strategies with... |

Zusammenfassung: Als Folge des Health Check der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik sowie des europäischen Konjunkturprogramms wurden die Mittel des Europäischen Landwirtschaftsfonds zur Entwicklung des ländlichen Raums (ELER) aufgestockt, um damit geeignete Maßnahmen zur Reaktion auf die „neuen Herausforderungen“ (Klimawandel, erneuerbare Energien, Wassermanagement, Biodiversität, Umstrukturierung des Milchsektors) zu ergreifen. Dieser Bericht analysiert die Änderungen, die die deutschen Bundesländer daraufhin im Jahr 2009 in ihren ländlichen Entwicklungsprogrammen vorgenommen haben. Die Analyse zeigt den großen Unterschied, der zwischen der formalen Anrechnung dieser zusätzlichen Mittel auf Maßnahmen gemäß den Prioritäten des Health Check und der tatsächlichen... |

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a cornerstone of EU policy relating to rural areas. Initially, it aimed to provide a harmonised framework for maintaining adequate supplies, increasing productivity and ensuring that both consumers and producers received a fair deal in the market. These priorities have shifted to environmental and animal welfare concerns, as well as food safety and security aspects. As a consequence, the CAP has gradually moved from a production-based structure of subsidies to a market-oriented system, integrating standards for food, environment and biodiversity, as well as animal welfare. In 2010, the EU launched an extensive debate on the future of the CAP, as the European Union needs a better tailored, reformed Common Agricultural... |

In this paper the relative cost efficiency of Scottish farms is determined, and variables that explain this efficiency by farm type are identified and implications discussed. A panel dataset from the Farm Accounts Scheme (FAS) survey for the period 1997-2004 was used for the estimation. A cost efficiency indicator was measured using a fixed effect panel data regression. Further analysis, to explain the efficiency results, indicated the presence of important farm size and regional effects. However, other variables, whilst statistically significant, did not produce a consistent effect across the different farm types. |

The European Union decided in June 2003 a new reform of its farm policy with a new step toward the decoupling of farm income support instruments. Available impact studies find that this reform will reduce production incentives, substantially for beef and to a lesser extent for arable crops. All these studies assume that the Agenda 2000 arable crop direct payments are already mostly decoupled while beef premiums are much more linked to production. Our main objective in this paper is to test the sensitivity of these results to this questionable modelling of Agenda 2000 direct payments which neglects eligibility rules and land market imperfections. Our analysis reveals that the negative effects of the reform on both arable crop and beef production are not... |

The framework conditions surrounding agricultural production in Germany have changed dramatically due to the Renewable Energy Law (EEG) and a sustained increase in agricultural prices. The Common Agricultural Policy, substantially reformed in the Luxemburg Compromise, will be considered in the framework of the “Health Check”. Against this background, the regional developments anticipated in dairy production, beef cattle husbandry and agricultural land use by the year 2015 are analysed with the help of the regionalized agricultural sector model RAUMIS. Simulations on the adaptability of dairy production under different market conditions are carried out with regard to the expiration of the dairy quota regulation. The farming intensity on arable land is... |

In this paper we evaluate empirically the impact of policies on farm investment and output decisions, considering risk-averse farmers making inter-temporal choices on current and future profits. We refer specifically to the recent reform of the CAP, while estimation and simulation results are carried out on a FADN sample of Italian arable crop farms. The main message of the paper is that a policy change that shifts resources from price support to direct payments tend to consistently reduce farm investments, mainly as a result of the increased output price volatility, which increases the level of uncertainty faced by farmers. However, this is not clearly reflected in a negative impact on farm output. |

A mezőgazdaságra, s általában az élelemtermelésre is egyre élesedő, globali-zálódó verseny vár. Ez magyarázza, hogy az európai agrárpolitika eszményei és realitásai mindinkább konfliktusba kerülnek, és ez az oka a KAP állandó re-formjainak, ezzel függenek össze a verseny torzításai, valamint a KAP követke-zetlenségei is. A magyar helyzetet, s a fejlődési lehetőségeket is – ezeken túlme-nően – az örökölt versenyhátrányok és a felemás csatlakozási felkészülés miatti új kihívások is befolyásolják. A versenyben való leszakadás megelőzése szem-pontjából fontos év 2007, amikor is át kell alakítani a nemzeti támogatási rend-szert; a nemzeti kiegészítő támogatások (top up) rendszerét; illetve elő kell készí-teni az uniós közvetlen támogatási rendszer, az ún. SAPS... |
