Abstract

AbstractThis study investigates the potential impacts of a range of specific support measures on the environment, using farm and sector‐scale economic models, in a range of country settings. Market price support and payments based on unconstrained variable input use are found to be the most environmentally harmful among the various support policies assessed. In contrast, decoupled support payments based on noncurrent crop area are the least harmful. The impacts of support policies that directly change the competitiveness of one production activity in relation to another, such as payments based on current crop area or on animal numbers, are more equivocal.
