Description
Objective:
The proposed project seeks to assess the so-called bond scheme as a way of providing transitional relief to farm businesses experiencing reductions in price and income support as part of CAP reform. The main objective is to design a workable bond scheme and to test its practicality and acceptability on both policymakers and farmers. The objective will be achieved via: a literature review; a conference; a postal survey; a series of case-study interviews with farmers; and workshops involving stakeholders. The expected result is a coasted and worked scheme aimed at the full range of farmers in the UK, Germany and Portugal and extendable to the rest of the EU.
