1. Livestock systems, environment and area payments + Livestock systems and High Nature Value Farming Erling Andersen Danish Centre for Forest, Landscape and Planning European Livestock Policy Evaluation Network Udine, November 2002

2. Livestock systems, environment and area payments EFNCP seminar, Brussels, July 2002

3. Two scenarios  All direct support substituted by:  1. UAA premium  - a unionwide homogeneous area payment on the total farmed area  2. Grassland premium  - a unionwide homogeneous area payment on permanent and rough grassland

4. Source: FADN-CCE-DG Agriculture/A-3; adaptation LEI. Assessment 1 Grazing livestock sectors

5. Assessment 2 Land use

6. Assessment 2 Land use - Permanent grassland systems 58 ha 58 GLU 84% Permanent and rough grass FFI: 19100 Ecu 33% older than 65 78% of UAA in LFA

7. Assessment 2 Land use - Permanent grassland systems

9. Assessment 2 Land use - Arable systems 49 ha 51 GLU 11% permanent and rough grass FFI: 24370 Ecu 35% older than 65 47% of UAA in LFA

10. Assessment 2 Land use - Arable systems

12. Assessment 2 Land use - Off-farm grazing systems 20 ha 32 GLU > 5 months off farm grazing FFI: 15006 Ecu 35% older than 65 80% of UAA in LFA

13. Assessment 2 Land use - Off-farm grazing systems

15. Assessment 3 Intensity

16. Assessment 4 Size

17. Some conclusions UAA premium: + sheep - beef cattle + permanent grass + Low intensity + Large scale Grassland premium: + sheep - beef and dairy cattle + permanent grass + Low intensity + Large scale

18. Some conclusions Both premiums favour the livestock systems with the better environmental profiles The two different premiums favour the same livestock systems, but with different intensity The UAA premium shows a more just distribution than the current support with regard to the share of farms, UAA and grazing livestock.

19. Livestock systems and High Nature Value Farming European Environmental Agency, Copenhagen, February 2002

20. Distribution on grazing livestock systems

21. The regional importance of grazing livestock systems

22. The regional importance of low-input grazing livestock systems

23. Example 1: Low-input grassland - dairy Sheep & goat

26. Example 2: Low-input of-farm grazing - dairy cattle

29. Conclusions Based on the expert knowledge and FADN data we have build a typology of grazing livestock systems with different environmental profiles High Nature Value Farming systems can be identified, described and located regionally More detailed information on farming practices and location is needed - reference farms and GIS- analysis
