The CAP at
a crossroads
The contribution of the
Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP) to European
society is unmistakable:
the food shortages that
scarred Europe until the
1950s have become a thing of the past; and the
agricultural sector is an important economic driver
that has established Europe as a leading agricultural
exporter and, as a major employer, ensured the
vitality of rural areas.
IS CAP
WORKING
Between 2000 and
2009 there has been
a drop of 25% in farm
employment
9.6%
of all GreenHouse
Gases are produced
by agriculture
Regrettably this has come at a heavy environmental cost,
as the trend towards industrialised, intensified farming
practice continues to cause damage that will destroy the
long-term viability of the sector. Over the last three decades
we have seen a real degradation of habitats, severe soil
erosion, increased pollution and the excessive use of water.
The agricultural sector has become a large contributor to
greenhouse gas emissions in its own right.
We are approaching a tipping point which risks destroying
much of what we take for granted in farming. Taking
climate change as an example, not only will increasing
global temperatures mean more unpredictable weather
patterns, we will also see the spread of animal diseases
associated with warmer climates. Areas already regularly
experiencing drought will suffer even more as precipitation
levels diminish.
In this publication we introduce you to farmers from
different corners of Europe who are using targeted
Rural Development (Pillar 2) subsidies to improve their
immediate surroundings and take care of the environment.
We want to inspire policy makers to create the conditions
necessary to make these types of farming thrive across
Europe.

CAP reform for 2014-2020: the risk of a missed
opportunity
The EU moving is too slowly towards the promotion of a
more sustainable agriculture. We have come a long way
from the mantra of “production at any cost” that originally
formed the core of the CAP policy. When Pillar 2 of CAP was
introduced it was meant to improve our agricultural base
by funding such things as rural enterprises, communities
and environmental measures. This distinct focus on Rural
Development policy has increasingly highlighted issues such
as climate change, renewable energy, biodiversity and water
management. In contrast to Pillar 1 Direct Payments, Pillar
2 recipients are only paid if they commit to clearly targeted
measures. There is however still a long way to go as Pillar 2
represents only a quarter of the overall CAP budget.
There is currently a real danger that the next CAP
(2014-2020) will result in a big step backwards.
Some politicians in the European Parliament and Council
have been looking to safeguard the old Direct Payments
system for farmers at the expense of targeted Pillar 2
expenditure.
In seeking to improve the CAP, it is important to frame
desired outcomes around the need to produce high quality
food in a sustainable way, by:
• conserving and restoring increasingly scarce natural
resources;
WWF Wants Direct
Payments to be
based on meaningful
Environmental
delivery
• ensuring economic viability and contributing to balanced
territorial development;
• helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt
to climate change;
• combining the delivery of valuable ecosystem services
(such as clean water, healthy soils, etc.)
• managing the countryside and delivering public goods to
society (living landscapes, clean environment, etc.);
• improving the quality of life in farming areas;
• ensuring animal welfare.
The farmers in this publication have something to teach us
as they have managed to strike a balance between all these
requirements. Be it large farmers, such as Kai Bischoff from
Germany (see page 14) or smaller farms with more diversified
incomes, such as Raymonde Buysschaert and Guido Barigelli
in Italy (see page 16), they all highlight the way forward.
77 %
of Europeans think that
some farm payments
should be linked to the
Environment
WWF recommendations for Rural Development
Farmers should only be rewarded for actions that are
environmentally sound or for producing public goods that the
market does not reward.
Therefore, the new CAP should support responsible land
management, e.g. projects concerning the use of permanent
pastures for carbon storage, the maintenance of biodiversity
and landscapes, the protection of soil and water resources
and the development of vibrant rural areas.
WWF’s recommendations on Rural Development,
formulated together with farmers, call for a more
sustainable and inclusive CAP in 2014-2020:
1. Ensure Rural Development (Pillar 2) funding is 50% of
the CAP budget;
2. Increase support for environmental measures within
Rural Development to 50% (from 25% today);
3. Support responsible farming in Europe by creating
distinct ‘High Nature Value’ and organic farming subprogrammes and considering these when designing
short supply chains;
4. Maintain income stabilisation and insurance schemes
through preventive measures and market measures
and not through Rural Development, and promote
innovation that includes local knowledge, is open to all
stakeholders and supports environmentally-friendly
technologies.
Did you
know
1kg of wheat requires
1,300 liters of water
1Kg of beef requires
15,500 liters of water
The farmers in this publication demonstrate that our
recommendations are clearly achievable and with the right
policy support they can become much more widespread.

Arable farm
FRANCE
What type of farm do you have?
I run a cereal farm in the Champagne-Ardenne region of
France. We are two working on the farm which produces
cereals (wheat, barley and maize), rapeseed, hemp, alfalfa
and sugar beet.
Around 40% of our farm is located in a Natura 2000 area. I
voluntarily maintain permanent grassland despite the fact
that there is no reward for doing so. Hedges and woodland
borders account for 2% of the gross area with pasture
covering a further 5%.
“We have taken
steps to produce in a
sustainable way. We
have reduced our use
of mineral fertilisers
and pesticides and
voluntarily developed
buffer strips along
watercourses.“
Quentin Delachapelle
Rural Development subsidies have been very helpful for
my business. Our efficient use of inputs such as pesticides
and fertilisers means that we are less susceptible to price
changes. We sell our produce via cooperatives to European
and international markets.
What is your approach to farming?
We run an environmentally aware farm. My education
- university studies in biology and ecology - reinforced
my knowledge of the limits of intensive farming. I have
sought advice on how to reduce system inputs and we
have implemented monitoring systems to evaluate the
functioning biodiversity present on the farm and to balance
our interventions (insecticides, tillage) accordingly. This
includes the selection of plant species which favour green
manure and insects as pollinators.
We have taken steps to produce in a sustainable way. We
have reduced our use of mineral fertilisers and pesticides
and voluntarily developed buffer strips along watercourses.
Practices such as crop rotation and mechanical weeding
reduce our need for herbicides. We maintain ecological
focus areas on the farm and have reduced our pesticide and
92%
of EU’s rivers, lakes and
aquifers are
significantly affected
by pollution,
over-abstraction and
habitat alteration
due to AGRICULTURE
fungicide use through smart risk-based approaches which
also protect biodiversity. These initiatives also help soil
quality as does our use of green manure.
How could CAP reform help?
The CAP should support farmers who wish to move
towards more environmentally aware farming. A greening
of the first pillar which involves no substantive change in
practice, would be a missed opportunity. It would mean
that farmers who have implemented innovative practices
that are beneficial to the environment are not rewarded.
Policymakers need to ensure that there is not a mismatch
between the proposed measures and their local application.
Rules should be enforced evenly.

Juan A. Valladares
SPAIN
I manage a 27 ha organic extensive farm which raises
‘Asturiana de la Montaña’, a local breed of beef cattle. My
farm is a mix of private and communal land. Aside from
some fruit and vegetables grown for self-consumption, a
small quantity of apples is harvested each year to produce
and sell cider. Additional income is generated through agritourism.
“By doubling the
livestock, paying
careful attention to the
natural capacity of the
pastures to support
them, as well as
developing our direct
sales, the farm could
be profitable without
relying on farm
subsidies.”
Juan A.Valladares
Under the CAP, I receive Direct Payments for suckling
cows and livestock and some Pillar 2 payments for agrienvironmental measures for endangered local breeds and
organic production as well as less-favoured area measures
for mountainous areas. I run a small, low-income farm, but
my production costs are also very low. When combined with
the arable crops and some agri-tourism activity, the farm
itself is profitable.
I sell calves directly to consumers, whereas the cows and
adult bulls are sold via conventional intermediaries. By
doubling the livestock, paying careful attention to the
natural capacity of the pastures to support them, as well
as developing our direct sales, the farm could be profitable
without relying on farm subsidies.
I disagree with modern agriculture and livestock production
methods. I manage this farm using traditional, extensive
methods, together with some environmentally-friendly
innovation.
The livestock graze freely throughout the year and they
rarely require additional food. Our approach to pasture
management includes both manual clearing and the use of
local animals, such as goats or pigs when necessary.
80%
In fact, the whole farmland is carefully managed to
maintain biodiversity. To take one example, the only wood
harvested is from trees felled by natural causes. Among the
primary environmental benefits of extensive grazing is the
maintenance of the silvo-pastoral – or forest and pasture –
ecosystems. Extensive ranching is also known to minimise
methane emission.
of all water is used IN
agriculture In parts of
Southern Europe
Whenever fertilisation is needed, only farm-produced
manure is used. Regarding other inputs, the installations
don’t require electricity, so energy expenditure is almost
zero. The only fuel used is for powering agricultural
machinery.
Water Scarcity
affects over
100 million Europeans
annually
The EU should support family farms, which are linked to
the local territory and which promote good practices that
promote real sustainability. I mean things like the proper
use of fertilisers, crop rotation or organic farming. There
should be greater encouragement of extensive livestock
production and the number of shrubs and trees in the
pasture should not be used as a way to reduce eligibility.
The new CAP should also support market mechanisms that
help to deliver fair prices for producers. I would like to see
payments going primarily for those working the field and
not to the landowners or agribusiness companies. Finally,
there should be more efficient capping and an increase in
the minimum payments.

North-East of
Schleswig-Holstein,
Angeln, Germany
GERMANY
This is a mixed organic farm of 115 ha. There are 65 dairy
cows and 90 breeding cattle and we have 30 ha of grassland.
On our 85 ha of arable land we grow a range of cash crops
such as clover and winter rapeseed, wheat and rye. We have
two employees on the farm and my parents also help out.
My income is supplemented with revenue from photovoltaic
activity on the farm.
“I would like to see
CAP reform which
reduces bureaucracy
for farmers. I would
like to see animalfriendly barns being
supported with
investments.”
Kai Bischoff
Although not as profitable as a conventional farm, a
combination of CAP and regional payments (Bundesland
Schleswig-Holstein) makes organic farming viable.
The move to organic agriculture is obvious once you begin
to question your approach to the farming process. We now
actively protect soil organisms, water, air, bees (with the help
of white clover) and other insects by tolerating positive weeds
and through crop rotation. We have reduced our energy
consumption by not using artificial fertilisers. This is achieved
by using alternative weed control methods and through the
use of dung and manure.
Looking ahead, we want to do less ploughing on the farm and
to improve our manure processing so that it is more effective
for the soil. We also want 100% of the fodder to come from
our holding.
I would like to see CAP reform which reduces bureaucracy
for farmers. I would like to see animal-friendly barns being
supported with investment. Wider measures to increased
demand for organic products, for example, by encouraging
healthy menus in public canteens, would be welcome and
I think there should be abolition of all area-based support
measures – famers should make their living by selling their
own produce!

We established ‘La Battinebbia’ in 2004 as an organic
and multi-functional farm. At this 4.5 ha site, we have
vineyards and orchards which produce medicinal herbs,
cherries, olives and alfalfa. We also make a wide variety of
high quality products such as vines, fresh and dried herbs,
derivates of soap production and olive oil. In addition, we
offer educational tours of the facility and the surrounding
area.
“The EU should
support farmers
by simplifying
the bureaucracy
associated with
the CAP. We would
also like to see full
acknowledgement of
the role that organic
farming plays in
the conservation of
biodiversity.”
Raymonde Buysschaert
and Guido Barigelli
Our farm was recognised as a ‘didactic farm’ in 2007 by our
regional authority (Regione Marche). We have specialised
tours for children and adults in Italian, English, French
and German. The visitors get a real farm experience while
learning how practical science and mathematics, coupled
with local geography, history and culture, come together to
form our farm’s produce.
On our farm we harvest high quality crops that are
grown naturally. We believe that organic farming offers
a real alternative to intensive farming. It reduces soil
exhaustion and enhances biodiversity. The flowers, wild
herbs, wildlife and insects around here all benefit from our
healthy management approach and our dedication to using
appropriate products.
Aside from only using environmentally-friendly products
which respect our local ecosystem, we also focus on
reducing waste as much as possible. Our committed
approach has helped our farm receive an official regional
certification for organic farming (issued by the Regione
Marche).
Since the 1900s,
about 75% of plant

in agriculture has
been lost
“The EU should support farmers by simplifying the
bureaucracy associated with the CAP. We would also like to
see full acknowledgement of the role that organic farming
plays in the conservation of biodiversity.” Likewise, the CAP
could do more to promote the exchange of ideas among
European organic farmers and to help them network.
The EU should not only further incentivise organic farming
and environmental conservation, it should help to build
awareness of the younger generation of rural heritage and
the need to recover traditional crops. Finally, regulation
needs to be more coherent overall and we need more
effective controls in supporting environmental measures.

Environmental farming
at the cutting edge
Where it is
Wiggeby farm,
Ekerö, Sweden
SWEDEN
At Wiggeby Farm, we practice conventional farming
cultivating a range of crops. Today we actively use 600 ha
through a combination of purchase and leasing. The soil is
mainly clay and in large areas heavy clay.
The farm is located on an island in a lake that is the main
drinking water source for a large residential area. This is
taken into consideration in the planning and execution of
different measures, such as spreading of fertiliser and use
of pesticides.
“We think that
there are many
pro-environmental
measures which could
easily be introduced by
the EU. The potential
is enormous.”
Håkan and Teri Lee Eriksson
We focus on combining conventional farming with new
technologies and pro-environmental methods. Our
sustainable farming goal means improving resource
efficiency without reducing yields. Since 1994, we have
been systematically analysing our farm’s performance.
For each field we know how the soil is cultivated, fertilised
and how much is harvested. This knowledge lets us
optimise input usage, increase harvest results and take
environmentally-sound decisions. Through “Farming in
Balance”, a group linking 17 farms, we are actively involved
in sharing best practice amongst the farming community.
Advice is especially important when a farmer is thinking of
investment. The most successful new technology we have
introduced on the farm has been the N sensor. This tractormounted device calculates the crop’s nitrogen content in
real-time and determines the dose of fertiliser to be applied
accordingly. The result is more even crop quality and less
nitrogen loss.
We believe that our composting and recycling division
is going to be one of the determining factors for the
sustainability of farming at Wiggeby. Today we are totally
fossil free regarding fuels for heating and drying grain.
“We use permanent,
six-metre wide,
grass buffers
alongside our
drainage ditches”
We are always seeking to reduce nutrient loss in the soil
and we have taken steps to reduce runoff into the aquatic
environment. We use permanent, six-metre wide, grass
buffers alongside our drainage ditches and we also recently
built a sedimentation pond to reduce phosphorous runoff.
These efforts play an important role in reducing algae
growth which can choke the local freshwater..
Our commitment to showing how a modern farm can
apply environmental measures to reduce nitrogen and
phosphorus losses saw us win the 2010 Baltic Sea Farmer
Award.
The Baltic Sea contains
800%
more phosphorus than
it did 100 years ago
We think that there are many pro-environmental measures
which could easily be introduced by the EU. The potential
is enormous. The focus should be on spreading knowledge
to change attitudes about the value of natural resources and
the environment and on implementing technology directed
towards sustainable and profitable agriculture production.
Realistic goals are important. Productive and profitable
agriculture businesses have the greatest potential to provide
food and energy for the European population.

I have been running an organic farm since 1998. We breed
milking goats and process the milk on the farm. The farm
employs one person full-time and four-to-six seasonal
workers. We have 36 ha, of which 26 ha is permanent
grassland and 10 ha is used as arable area for mainly for
plants like peas and beans.
“In the reformed
CAP, subsidies for
organic farming and
agri-environmental
measures should be
kept. I would like to
see restrictions which
eliminate ‘pseudo
organic’ farmers.”
Lidia Ordysińska
Organic farmers incur higher production costs (i.e. labour
costs) and lower profits when starting out, but after five
years or so, the balance shifts in our favour. I find that
the organic model of farming means that plants remain
free from disease longer, drought is rarely a problem and
animal health is considerably improved – so our veterinary
service costs are negligible, for example.
EU support is important to the financial wellbeing of my
farm: we receive Direct Payments and some money through
Rural Development measures. This support has allowed
me to modernise; the farm can now compete with nonorganic products, as in Poland organic food is not much
more expensive. The good news is that customer awareness
of the benefits of the organic model is increasing.
For me, organic farming means high quality food and
avoiding the use of chemicals.
This choice has many consequences on the running of
the farm. For example, I only use compost, effective
microorganisms (EM) and earthworms for farm manure
aeration and processing. We have also connected the farm
to the municipal microbiological wastewater treatment
plant and household waste is segregated and put into
separate containers. When chemicals are needed their
use is restricted to only using hydrogen peroxide and EMs
for personal hygiene and cleaning at home and in the
processing plant.
“In Poland,
the setting-up and
developing small
local processing
plants is over
regulated: we
have much more
stringent rules than
other EU countries.”
In the reformed CAP, subsidies for organic farming and
agri-environmental measures should be kept. I would like
to see restrictions which eliminate ‘pseudo organic’ farmers.
This could be achieved by introducing more appropriate
inspections. The funds this would free up could then
be used to subsidise agri-environmental measures that
encourage the manufacturing of genuinely healthy food.
In Poland, the setting-up and developing small local
processing plants is over regulated: we have much more
stringent rules than other EU countries. This inhibits our
fledgling sector. In other EU countries such processing
accounts for over 25% of the food market.

Transylvania, Romania
ROMANIA
We call our farm ‘Topa’s ecological farm’. The village of
Topa is situated in the Sighisoara-Tarnava Mare Natura
2000 site which covers 85.374 ha and is one of the largest
lowland areas of High Nature Value (HNV) farmland in the
European Union.
Some years ago the local school wanted to educate children
about ‘healthy’ agriculture. When the farm began back in
2005, it consisted of just one hectare of land! My family
was involved from the very beginning and we took over the
running of the farm in 2009.
“The EU should
continue to build
a comprehensive
approach that
supports farming
practices which work
in harmony with
nature.”
Daniel Cismas
The farm now has 33 ha of land comprising of 1 ha of
roses with the rest being used for fodder, vegetables and
medicinal plants. We also have 15 cows. This allows us to
produce fresh cheese, pickles and different varieties of tea,
which we sell directly at the village market and surrounding
areas, and indirectly at the bio-store we opened in Sibiu
together with six other small producers.
Under the CAP we have been receiving Rural Development
funding including agri-enviroment and Direct Payments
since 2009.
“Our farm is a real example of sustainable development.
By raising our animals traditionally and by promoting
environmentally-friendly practices, as well as respect for
natural cycles, we contribute to the preservation of HNV
farmlands, which are characterised by an exceptional
biodiversity.”
By investing in organic farming we enjoy being able to
offer healthy products to our consumers, and thus access
a market that recognises the value of environmental
protection. The farm provides income for our entire family
and for those who help us during harvest season.
25%
Roughly
of the EU’s Natura
2000 sites is farmland
and that requires

and farm activity
From a social perspective, the farm creates direct links with
the local community. Children and teachers volunteer at the
farm. We also get volunteers from all over the world who
come to benefit from intercultural exchanges and to learn
the practice of organic farming.
The EU should continue to build a comprehensive approach
that supports farming practices which work in harmony
with nature.
The launch of Natura 2000 payments in Romania during
the next financing period (2014-2020) is essential and longawaited by many farmers. “We also need a comprehensive
package of measures supporting our Rural Development
needs, from taking care of our natural resources to
facilitating market access, to sharing knowledge gains and
educating future generations about sustainable farming.
A strategy to identify short supply chains of relevance to
farmers like me is essential.”

GLOSSARY
The European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy supports food production at
farm level, ensuring that rural communities continue to thrive, as well as protecting
the environment from dangers caused by farming.
Pillar 1 provides Direct Payments to farmers. These form a significant part of
their overall income. In most EU countries this subsidy is calculated on the number
of hectares of land owned. Currently payments are not based on any type of
environmental delivery.
Pillar 2 or Rural Development is responsible for about 24% of the overall CAP
budget and it provides targeted subsidies that improve farm competitiveness,
environmental delivery and the quality of life and economic diversification of rural
areas.
Agri-environmental measures (in Pillar 2) provide payments to farmers who
subscribe to environmental commitments related to the preservation of the
environment and maintaining the countryside.
Natura 2000 is an EU wide network of protected areas, established to maintain
biodiversity and areas of special conservation. Much of this land is privately owned
and still under human stewardship. Activities like farming are allowed as long as
they fit into certain criteria.
Organic farming restricts the use of fertilisers, pesticides and insecticides as
inputs. In Europe this type of farming is certified by the European Union, so that
consumers know exactly what they are buying.
High Nature Value farming combines low intensity farming with the needs of the
environment by preserving biodiversity.
Intensive Farming is a form of agriculture which is heavily dependent on large
amounts of inputs such as pesticides, insecticides, fertilisers and sometimes
irigation to maintain a high yield of crop. Instead of preserving supportive
biodiversity, as much of the land as possible is used for agricultural production.
The result of intensive farming is a breakdown in soil quality, water shortages and
pollution and vast areas without any rich biodiversity.
