Description:
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been one of the main pillars in the construction of the European project. While its fundamental goals remained the same, the policy over the time adapted to evolving needs: since 2014 specifically with and ever-increasing regard also towards environmental objectives. This Report aims to assess the feasibility of estimating a causal relationship between the CAP and environmental outcomes. It offers an assessment of the present state of both data availability and associated obstacles and deficiencies. Different counterfactual impact assessment scenarios based on the FADN survey at the European level are summarised in a set of concise documents, referred to as fiches, which provide details about the databases and variables to be used, the methods to be applied, and give a judgement on the current feasibility at different geographical levels within the EU territory. Where applicable, references to further complementary data sources containing potentially useful information are outlined.
