“…The Fischler reform adopted in 2003 was an essential step in the history of the CAP. This reform decoupled the direct payments from agricultural production and introduced the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) and crosscompliance measures (Cunha and Swinbank 2011). Health Check was the mid-term review of the Fischler reform, addressing three specific issues; simplify the Single Payment Scheme (SPS), improve the market orientation of the CAP, and provide adequate policy tools for new challenges such as climate change and biofuels (Timerman 2009).…”

“…After the mid-term review of the Agenda 2000 reform of CAP, several supporting measures were introduced from an agri-environmental perspective, including an increase in the amount of CAP Pillar II payments (subsidies for Rural Development), as well as the introduction of cross-compliance (standards connected financial support to EU rules on the environment, plant, and animal health) and mandatory modulation (Cunha and Swinbank 2011) (An instrument introduced by the 2003 reform allowed resources aimed at direct aid for farmers to be transferred to CAP rural development measures during the period preceding 2013.). The European agri-environment scheme has been beneficial for farmland biodiversity, leading to a moderate increase in the number of species (Batáry et al 2015).…”

Agriculture is one of the main contributors to carbon emissions and is also significantly affected by changing climate. This article investigates the impacts of agricultural support on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from agriculture in the European Union. Panel regression models were used to examine the influence of subsidies in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on reducing GHGs from agriculture. First, estimates show that direct agricultural subsidies encouraged agricultural-related carbon emissions. Second, the study concludes that the expansion of organic agriculture and the rural development expenditures contributed to emissions reduction in the member states. Finally, the CAP Health Check reform decreased while the Ciolos reform stimulated GHG emissions.

Agricultural transformation in Poland and Bulgaria, both characterized by unique farm structures compared to the old EU, has been a policy challenge for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) even before integration. Eurostat and Comtrade data over 2000 to 2016/2017 have been used to analyse agricultural restructuring at farm level, relating it to growth trends in agro-processing units and eventually to competitiveness in agricultural exports and trade specialization.CAP payment instruments, especially DPs have influenced farm restructuring, farming practices and income in both Poland and Bulgaria. Distinctive farm structures have evolved that have caused polarization and influenced productivity.Large farms are the main beneficiaries of farm aids and this polarization continues in the agro-industry sector as well.Multinational agro-firms, though insignificant in number are found to monopolise agro-based production in almost all the food processing sub-sectors in both the member countries. In terms of trade competitiveness indices, export specialization of agri-commodities has reduced in both members over 2000-2017, shares of processed commodities in exports with specialization have increased for Poland while Bulgaria has gained in medium-processing capabilities. For policy implications, small farms need to form producer groups and coordinate with small producers to increase both farm and firm level productivity. The subsidiarity principle of new CAP can be utilized by member states to facilitate this.

“…Since the MacSharry Reform in 1992, the European Common Agricultural Policy has evolved to ensure food security through more sustainable agricultural practices [8]. Ecoschemes (ES) and Agriculture Environmental Schemes (AES) have been introduced as new Land 2023, 12, 1409 2 of 24 policy tools with the post 2020 CAP reform to align the CAP objectives to the European Green Deal targets: reaching climate neutrality by 2050 and halving fertilizer application and nutrient loss by 2030 [9].…”

The aim of this work is to assess the structural, production, environmental, and economic impact of an increasing tax on climate change gas emissions related to milk production under the current CAP payment system. The analysis is performed using an Agent-Based Model (ABM) based on Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP). The integration between ABM and PMP makes it possible to simulate farmers’ strategies considering the interaction between them, the territorial specificity, and the heterogeneity of farms in the presence of little information on production costs. It also makes it possible to add a social and cultural perspective to the economic factors. The model is calibrated using FADN data for the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) from the year 2020. The results show that farmers belonging to different age groups make decisions based on economic profitability, but also on their social and cultural background. To maximise their utility functions, farmers can opt for more efficient agricultural management practices that may result in the exchange of production factors, especially land. The overall impact penalises less efficient farms and agricultural production with higher negative externalities.
