description | Since the early 1990s, the European Union has financed a lot of specific measures aimed
at promoting agroforestry on farms. In fact, the reform of Common Agricultural Policy
proposed by the European Commissioner Ray MacSharry has put in place several actions
with the predominant aim of changing the European agricultural model based on an
environmental protection instead of a growth of agrarian productions. The purpose of this
paper was, using a multiple regression model, to assess the impact of the Common
Agricultural Policy, specifically financial subsides allocated by the second pillar of the CAP,
in promoting agroforestation actions on the overall output of farmers over the time 2004-
2012 and on the growth of woodland surface. Findings have pointed out a positive
correlation between financial support paid by the Rural Development Program and the
farmer total income with positive consequences on the growth of afforestated surfaces
particularly in lowland areas. |
