2013 CAP Reform: Direct Payment schemes:

Payment for agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and environment (The greening payment)
Environment related objective
To promote environmental sustainability and combat climate change

By respecting greening practices, farmers contribute to long-term competitiveness and for an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable way of managing their farms. The greening payment is therefore a new element of the EU's response to the global challenge of sustainable management of natural resources and climate action which is of particular importance to agriculture.
On top of these mandatory instruments, agri-environmental policy encourages the introduction and/or maintenance of extensive, environmentally friendly farming systems programmed and targeted towards regional needs. These instruments will be accompanied by broad support from the Farm Advisory System and applied research.

2013 CAP Reform: Direct Payment schemes:

Payment for agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and environment (The greening payment)
Eligible farmers

The agricultural practices under greening include the maintenance of existing permanent grassland, application of crop diversification and the establishment of ecological focus areas on the agricultural area. Subject to a decision by member States a farmer can, instead of applying these basic practices, undertake practices which are considered equivalent (such as crop rotation instead of crop diversification). These requirements have been chosen in such a way as to bring real environmental enhancement whilst limiting the additional costs and burdens in the operation of the farm. Member States must allocate 30% of their direct payment envelope to green direct payments.
Type of measure
Direct payments

The "greening" direct payment is granted to farmers on the condition that they undertake practices that are beneficial to the climate and to the environment. It should be underlined that farmers may only be paid the full Basic Payment Sch

2013 CAP Reform: Rural Development Programmes (including Agri-environment-climate payments)

Rural development programmes define multi-annual strategies in selected programming areas, based on a thorough analysis of their socio-economic and environmental needs.

In order to further underline the importance of using rural development for the environment and climate-related issues, member States have to spend at least 30% of their rural development funding from the EU budget, at the level of each programme, on certain measures related to land management, environmental issues and climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Agri-environment-climate payments which represent the most important rural development measure in terms of environmental payments can only be granted for commitments which are set at the level going beyond mandatory requirements. This guarantees that the payments for this measure deliver the environmental and climate-related public goods additional to those provided by mandatory requirements.
Environment related objective
To support measures on land management, environmental issues and climate change mitigation and adaptation;

The EU priorities for rural development include, inter alia:
1. enhancing farm viability and competitiveness of all types of agriculture in all regions and promoting innovative farm technologies and the sustainable management of forests;
2. promoting food chain organisation, including processing and marketing of agricultural products, animal welfare and risk management in agriculture;
3. restoring, preserving and enhancing ecosystems related to agriculture and forestry; and
4. promoting resource efficiency and supporting the shift towards a low carbon and climate resilient economy in agriculture, food and forestry sectors.
