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

  5. Assessment 2Land use

  6. Assessment 2Land 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 2Land use - Permanent grassland systems

  8. Assessment 2Land use - Permanent grassland systems

  9. Assessment 2Land 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 2Land use - Arable systems

  11. Assessment 2Land use - Arable systems

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

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

  15. Assessment 3Intensity

  16. Assessment 4Size

  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

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

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

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

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

  28. 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
