Farmers’ views on EU agri-environmental policies

cover
Contributing to the Common Agricultural Policy Impact Assessment with evidence from focus groups
For the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to be a success, it is necessary to understand farmers' decision-making and viewpoints beyond the assumptions made by neoclassical economics, because farmers' motivations are not only driven by profit maximisation. In this context, a qualitative study (focus groups) was conducted to better understand farmers' experience with the three CAP instruments designed to motivate them to adopt more environmentally-friendly practices: cross compliance, green direct payments (i.e., "greening") and voluntary agri-environmental and climate measures. This report was published as an annex to the Impact Assessment accompanying the Proposals for a Regulation establishing rules on support for strategic plans to be drawn up by Member States under the Common agricultural policy (EUR-Lex - 52018SC0301).
