Description:

Contents:
This module is aimed at analyzing public policies in agri-environmental schemes. The
module will
• Outline the role of agriculture for positive and negative environmental
externalities, e.g. biodiversity loss, climate change, multi-functionality of
agriculture
• Introduce into governance and policy processes of agri-environmental schemes
• Give an overview of policy instruments, such as economic incentives and
environmental standards and regulation
• Present criteria and methodologies to conduct policy analysis
Students will subsequently conduct a small policy analysis of their own interest in
the field of agri-environmental policy and incentive instruments (national, EU-level
or international level), e.g. EU-CAP, PES schemes, carbon markets in agriculture,
sustainability standards, environmental financing, or land-use planning.

Learning outcome, core skills:
Students gain essential knowledge on the analysis of policy instruments in agrienvironmental
systems and are capable to apply selected methods and criteria for policy
analysis.

Examination requirements:
Students write a seminar paper on the analysis of specific agri-environmental policy
measures applying selected evaluation criteria and methods. Subsequently, they
present and discuss their findings in class
