In Europe, more than 7.3 million farmers are beneficiaries of direct payments, and they manage more than 170 million hectares of agricultural land. In terms of farm income ...

Renewable energy in EU agriculture

Kratki prikaz 23-11-2016

The agricultural sector accounts for almost 10 % of greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union, mainly for food production and transport. In recent years, European farmers have made efforts to significantly reduce this environmental footprint by increasing their consumption and production of renewable energy, which is derived from natural resources that are naturally replenished. While there is enormous potential for the production of renewable energy on farms due to the availability of wind, ...

Farmers are often confronted with substantial changes in the prices they receive for the sale of their agricultural products, which causes financial uncertainty about their incomes. Commonly referred to as 'price volatility', this phenomenon is more evident in agriculture than in other economic sectors due to a variety of economic, natural and political factors. Data provided by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation suggest that global price volatility has been on the increase since ...

Recent trends in agricultural commodity prices have been a subject of concern to policy-makers at both EU and national levels. The current common agricultural policy (CAP), for the period 2014 to 2020, represents one of the most market-oriented forms of European agricultural policy since its establishment. This has involved a shift away from price support to direct income support and rural development. However, running parallel with these changes, an analysis of price changes in the main agricultural ...

Agriculture is a strategic economic and societal sector for the European Union (EU): the agri-food sector adds an estimated €420 billion in value per year and provides more than 47 million jobs in the European agro-food sector (roughly equivalent to 7% of the workforce, making it a key employment sector). Additionally, it helps to manage more than 50% of EU territory and is the fourth-largest export sector in the EU economy. In the global context, the EU agri-food sector has huge potential to perform ...

CETA includes several elements which are directly related to agriculture, notably tariff cuts, tariff rate quotas and Geographical Indications, while the sections on subsidies, rules of origin and sanitary and phytosanitary rules also have implications ...

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) concerns the pooling of European Union resources spent on agriculture and aimed at protecting the viable production of food, the sustainable management of natural resources and to support rural vitality. It consists of two pillars, the first includes direct payments (i.e. annual payments to farmers to help stabilise farm revenues in the face of volatile market prices and weather conditions) and market measures (to tackle specific market situations and to support ...
