Alternative payment approaches for noneconomic farming systems
delivering environmental public goods
As future proposals for the CAP post 2014 are developed it is
important to consider the types of payment which will be required
to support agri-environmental management and farming systems that
deliver environmental public goods. The report
highlights the case for developing alternative payment
approaches in certain circumstances. Read more.

Beyond the LUPG 'Vision': Achieving a transition away from
CAP direct payments
The publication of the LUPG vision for the future of the CAP
signaled the start of a process rather than an end point.
During the launch event in March 2009, a substantial number of
questions were raised by the various speakers and members of the
audience. In response, LUPG commissioned a series of IEEP
discussion papers to address these questions. It is hoped
that these papers will prove useful in informing the continuing
debate on the future of the CAP after 2013.
The first in a series of four discussion
papers titled: 'Achieving a transition away from CAP direct
payments' has now been released. Read more

Estimating the scale of future environmental land management
requirements for the UK
A key consideration for the EU Budget and the future Common
Agricultural Policy will be identifying the expenditure needed to
achieve defined public environmental objectives. The purpose
of this research was to identify indicators capable of being used
at the UK level as the basis for estimating the scale of
environmental land management activity necessary to meet current
policy objectives. The contractors were then asked to
estimate how much it might cost to deliver the management
required. Read more.
