“…The recent CAP 2014-2020 includes agri-environmental measures such as crop diversification as obligatory requirements for initial pillar payments. Recent studies concerning the impact assessment of the CAP 2014-2020 show contrary results: a limited environmental impact of the new greening rules [48] and strong effects on the farmland use in high-intensive agricultural regions [49].…”

Agricultural land use is influenced in different ways by local factors such as soil conditions, water supply, and socioeconomic structure. We investigated at regional and field scale how strong the relationship of arable crop patterns and specific local site conditions is. At field scale, a logistic regression analysis for the main crops and selected site variables detected, for each of the analyzed crops, its own specific character of crop–site relationship. Some crops have diverging site relations such as maize and wheat, while other crops show similar probabilities under comparable site conditions, e.g., oilseed rape and winter barley. At the regional scale, the spatial comparison of clustered variables and clustered crop pattern showed a slightly stronger relationship of crop combination and specific combinations of site variables compared to the view of the single crop–site relationship.

“…Comparing the effect of greening measures on three different dairy farms structures (extensive, organic, and intensive), Gaudino and others [31] found a more intense effect, in terms of income reduction, for intensive farms, compared to the other two categories. The strong effect of greening on Lombardy agriculture seems to be confirmed, in terms of crop mix change, where Bertoni et al [32] found a significant discontinuity in farmland use transition in Lombardy before (2011-2014) and after (2015-2016) the adoption of greening. Even if such preliminary analysis does not measure the net impact of greening, its results are in line with most ex-ante simulations in the same region.…”

Sustainable development is more often considered by media, public opinion, and politicians to be the main goal our society should attempt to pursue in the coming years. To this aim, academic researchers have made sustainability one of the main objects of their studies. This work focuses on environmental sustainability and presents a brief overview of how it is taken into consideration in the agricultural economics field by considering this topic from different perspectives and thus highlighting how this field is gradually broadening its scope to include sustainable development objectives. Our analysis shows that the path towards sustainable development is strongly correlated to the protection of the environment. Therefore, agricultural policies aimed at protecting and preserving the environment, and, more in general, innovation along the agri-food chain, together with consumer attention towards environmental issues, can play an important role in achieving this objective.

“…The "conservation agriculture (CA" could be a part of this model, as it includes a set of best practices available to preserve agrarian soil and its biodiversity". The results of another scientific work in the northern side of Italy highlight the fact that the introduction of greening in a region with high density of monoculture has led to strong discontinuities in farmland allocation; such a result is relevant, if compared to a certain widespread opinion that considered greening rules quite ineffective at EU level according to the European Court of Auditors -2017 [79].…”

The current article details the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), particularly the impact of each CAP reform on agricultural production and the rural economy in the region of Eastern Macedonia-Thrace (EMT), Greece, done via an econometric approach employing Factor Analysis techniques and Structural Equation Model. Detailed qualitative and quantitative data were obtained through structured questionnaires completed during in-depth interviews of the scientific staff working in regional agriculture and were subsequently used to build a Structural Equation Model. This scientific work was undertaken twice, each time following successive CAP reforms, in order to evaluate immediate impact, not only on the Local Economy, but the continuing regional Local Development. Following the comparison of the two successive reforms SEMs, a series of sectoral comparisons of the two reforms was undertaken to clarify the differences between the two specific reforms.It is concluded that the 2003 reform has had a negative impact on the local EMT economy compared to the 2014 reform, which appears to have contributed more favourably to the local economy and regional development, with Land Value-Purchase, Land Value-Hire, Product processing, Labour hands (harvesting, standardization, packaging etc) and Purchase of inputs (pesticides, fertilizers, supplies, etc.) being the local economy sectors that have responded positively to the second reform.
