Auswirkungen der Luxemburger Agrarreform auf Organisation und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit ökologisch wirtschaftender Betriebe

Summary

This paper analyses the impacts of the 2003 CAP reform on organic farms, combining an extensive survey of organic farmers in several EU member states with a farm modelling approach based on the European Farm Accountancy Data network. The results highlight that income effects will depend strongly on individual national imple-mentation of the 2003 CAP reform, and will often differ by farm type. In general, the impact will be more beneficial to organic farms in countries that have opted for full, rather than partial, decoupling, and in countries which have implemented the Single Farm Payment on the basis of regional payment rates rather than on the basis of historical, individual farm references.
