A quantitative and qualitative assessment of the socio-economic and environmental impacts of decoupling of direct payments on agricultural production, markets and land use in the EU.

Objective

An assessment of the proposed decoupling of direct payments, under consideration in the Mid-Term- Review of the CAP, has to be based on their potential benefits and the likely costs including marketable and non-marketable goods (such as environmental impacts) and services and the action of the economic decision-makers in the agricultural sector. This project has been designed to undertake socio-economic and environmental assessments of such measures, by using a set of existing and modified models for various levels of analyses. For economic analysis, farm-level mathematical programming and other models incorporating technical inputs (farm systems, agronomic and livestock characteristics and constraints) form the core of the proposed approach. The large technical inputs required by the economic models and the evaluation of impacts will be based on crop and livestock models linked to sets of databases (soil and climate particularly provided by the JRC), which are now accessible for the entire EU including the FADN farm accounts database. Different case studies will be implemented all around Europe. Sociologic and quantitative methodologies will be used to better understand the behaviour of the different farm family households in their specific environment and their adaptation strategy due to the CAP reform. The project team has internationally acknowledged expertise in such multidisciplinary research, thus enabling them to provide meaningful information to policymakers. While the proposal is oriented toward quantitative evaluation, the guidelines and information provided to policy makers will be enhanced by a more general socio-economic overview, which will point out advantages and limits of the results. During the project, social, employment and regional implications of decoupling of direct payments will be addressed fully by the use of qualitative research methods including case studies, focus groups and meetings with exper...
