Integrated tools for eco-scheme design

Purpose
The case study will contribute to a more precise design and calibration of the eco-schemes in the country.
Challenges faced
The selected farm-level and sectoral models provide support to both farmers (in selecting eco-schemes) and policymakers (in calibrating interventions and financial allocations). It is especially useful where score systems are employed to determine eco-scheme payments levels.
Main objective
The effects of different options for the design and the hectare payments of the planned eco-schemes on the expected uptake and the required budget. Options include for example alternative specifications regarding the eligibility of fallow land as a crop and options to promote low input grassland management.
Key collaboration
Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature: active participation + Paying Agency: Active participation.
