Regional Concentration and Specialisation in Agricultural Activities in EU-9 Regions (1950-2000)

Regional Concentration and Specialisation in Agricultural Activities in EU-9 Regions (1950-2000) Both traditional (von Thünen) and modern (Hayami & Ruttan, Krugman) theories on land use suggest that productions with a high value added per unit of land tend to be located near urban centres. In this article it is tested to what extent these theoretical findings are confirmed by empirical data on agricultural land use and production for the EU-9. The focus is not only on the degree of concentration and specialisation, but also on their development over time. Growth and decline of agricultural productions are here related to the degree of rurality. It is found that high value productions indeed tend to be located in urban regions. It is also found that most specialisation patterns that already existed in 1950 are even stronger in 2000.

The Use of Regional Typologies in the Assessment of Farms’ Performance

In this chapter we explore whether the economic and environmental performance of farms is affected by regional characteristics. We use farm intensity - measured as agricultural output per hectare - as an indicator for the economic and environmental performance of farms. Regional characteristics are captured by designing three regional typologies, based on rurality, the stage of economic development and the presence of Less Favoured Areas. Our analysis covers 100 regions in the EU15 and is based on 2 years: 1990 and 2003.

Verkenning gevolgen GLB-voorstellen voor landbouwinkomens in Nederland

The legislative proposals for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the 2021-2027 period give Member States a great deal of freedom in granting payments from the first pillar. The impact of the planned revision of the CAP on the income of agricultural and horticultural organisations depends to a large extent on the choices made by the Netherlands in granting these payments. These consequences will be either limited or very significant. The study provides insight into which choices lead to which consequences based on five possible scenarios for the implementation of the first pillar of the CAP for the 2021-2027 period

Verdeling van de toeslagen van de eerste pijler van het GLB over landbouwbedrijven in de EU

In deze studie is een analyse gemaakt van de verdeling van de toeslagen van de eerste pijler van het Gemeenschappelijk landbouwbeleid over landbouwbedrijven in de EU28. Deze verdeling laat een onevenwichtig beeld zien: in 2015 ontving 81% van de EU-boeren 20% van de toeslagen. Landbouwbedrijven die weinig toeslagen ontvangen hebben doorgaans minder hectares dan bedrijven die veel toeslagen ontvangen. De onevenwichtige verdeling van toeslagen ontstaat doordat de groep boeren met weinig hectares in de EU28 veel groter is dan de groep met veel hectares.

Distribution of CAP pillar 1 payments to farmers in the EU

During this study, an analysis was conducted of the distribution of direct payments from the first pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to farmers in the EU28. This distribution has been shown to be uneven: in 2015, 81% of EU farmers received 20% of the payments. Farms that receive few payments are usually smaller than those that receive higher payments. The uneven distribution of direct payments is caused by the fact that the group of farmers with small farms in the EU28 is much larger than the group with large farms.

Maatschappelijke opgaven voor de agrosector : perspectief op de ontwikkeling van de agrosector tot 2030
