Abstract

The paper studies the Danish Environmentally Beneficial Farming programme, introduced as implementation of EU Directive 92/2078 (part of the “accompanying measures” of the CAP reform). A case study approach has been used to look more closely at the qualitative aspects of the uptake of the measures in this programme amongst Danish farmers in the designated Especially Sensitive Agricultural Areas (ESAA). Two study areas were chosen, and personal and focus group interviews undertaken to elicit farmers’ own experiences and views on these voluntary environmental measures, as well as the experiences of the administrative authorities and advisory services. The results indicate that a greater emphasis is needed on methods and content of information. Further, the ‘provider’s cost’ approach to the payment schemes of the measures may not necessarily be the most efficient or effective. A stronger focus on payment and priorities in relation to environmental effects, and the communication of the environmental significance of these measures, should give better results from the programme.
