If direct payments are allocated using the standard working-time requirement, farms with many working hours, particularly farms with many livestock units and/or mountain farms would gain. On the other hand, non-mountain farms and

In this paper, we compare two dif- ferent EU NUTS3 areas (UKM41 and AT322) to evalu- ate the extent to which multiple functions of agricul- ture are linked to pluriactivity of farms and farm households.

This reflects new societal demands for tasks and services provided by agriculture particularly in mountain and less-favoured areas (LFA). The regional distribution of CAP and Rural Development support underpins the argument that the territorial dimension implied by CAP reforms has not yet been

By employing a regional model, this paper compares the long-term impact of spending along the Pillar 2 Axes in NUTS3 areas on selected indicators of sustainability in several peripheral areas across

While this has been addressed in rural development discourse to a wide extent over the last two decades and consensus for regionalized strategies is emerging, programme evaluation is in general still limited to the analysis of policy interventions
