The environmental effects of reforming agricultural policies

OECD countries have started to reform their agricultural policies in the last decade. Many countries have also implemented agri-environmental measures that are directly aimed at improving the environment. What are the changes in land use, farming practices and input use resulting from these reforms? What have been the effects on the environment: soils, water, air, biodiversity, wildlife habitat and landscape? How have regional and local conditions influenced the environmental outcomes? To what extent have agri-environmental measures contributed to achieving sustainable agriculture? And how could such measures be made more effective and cost-efficient? Through examining concrete policy experiences from OECD countries, this study concludes that agricultural policy reforms can improve the environment, provided they are accompanied by appropriate environmental measures.

  • "The main aim of this study is to examine to what extent the agricultural policy reforms over the last ten years have moved them closer to this goal. Countries have, to a varying degree, reduced price support and input subsidies, and many have shifted to direct payments and other less distorting ways of providing income support to farmers. In addition, governments have tried to link income support to environmental performance and have implemented measures that are directly aimed at improving the environment, as part of their reforms. These changes have influenced agricultural land use, farming practices and input use, with important consequences for the environment."
