| Analyses of the impact of European policies on agricultural change are most often based on agricultural sector models. Such models have their limitations: they cannot specify the interaction between agriculture and the rest of the economy, and their spatial dimension is usually limited. Land use simulation models, on the other hand, usually depend on other models for assessing the demand for land. The consistency of those models with the assumptions and databases of the land use model is often not examined. This article reports on a research project where the links between a macroeconomic model, an agricultural sector model and a land use model were explicitly explored in order to arrive at a consistent model chain. This integrated framework was put to the... |

| The Less Favoured Areas (LFAs) Directive (75/268) which was introduced in 1975, was the first common European instrument of regional agricultural structural policy. LFAs are areas where agriculture is hampered by permanent natural handicaps. The major objectives were to ensure the continuation of farming, thereby maintaining a minimum population level and preserving scenic landscapes and environmentally valuable habitats. In the Netherlands, the LFA measure is used as an additional payment, to compensate farmers for negative economic effects due to the conservation of these natural handicaps. It was not implemented as a stand alone policy, but is linked to measures aiming at active nature and landscape conservation management. In this paper, the effects... |

| This report looks into the extent to which regions are able to take anticipatory measures in implementing the Manure Policy in preparation for the Water Framework Directive, which will be implemented in 2009. Alongside a literature search, regional anticipation was investigated by means of interviews and a workshop. The general conclusion from the research is that regional anticipation is worth the effort of further elaboration. The parties involved have indicated both limitations and preferences, but no serious objections have been expressed. In dit rapport wordt onderzocht in hoeverre regio's met het uitvoeren van het Mestbeleid anticiperende maatregelen kunnen nemen om in te spelen op de Kaderrichtlijn Water, die in 2009 wordt ingevoerd.
