The report Guide to Eco-schemes in the new CAP: Opportunities and challenges for managing authorities provides guidance and inspiration for EU and national policymakers and managing authorities on how eco-schemes could be designed and implemented to drive the transition towards more sustainable farming systems in Europe.
Commissioned by IFOAM EU and produced by the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) and the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL), it explores options ranging from individual measures to multi-functional, system-based approaches, such as support for organic and conservation agriculture and the protection and maintenance of High-Nature Value (HNV) farmland areas or agroforestry.
