Eco-schemes are set to play an important role in the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2022 for the delivery of environmental and climate benefits and enhanced animal welfare. This article surveys current plans for the design of eco-schemes in fifteen European Union Member States. The number of eco-scheme measures to be offered per country varies between 3 and 21, and the complexity and level of ambition of the individual measures are quite heterogeneous. The majority of the proposed eco-scheme measures either build upon components from greening obligations or stem from agri-environmental and climate schemes currently offered under Pillar 2. All fifteen Member States address Green Deal targets, with particular emphasis being given to biodiversity enhancement and non-productive land. Eight of the countries surveyed are planning to provide support for organic farming through an eco-scheme. The greater creative freedom offered by the CAP’s New Delivery Model has resulted in a situation where similar measures are programmed as eco-schemes in some countries and as Pillar 2 measures in others. By adding yet another policy instrument to the CAP’s toolbox, the complexity of the CAP is vastly increased. It remains to be seen how farmers will respond.

Funding Information:
Against this backdrop, this article aims to provide an overview of current planning in 15 Member States regarding the national implementation of eco‐schemes. Potential coverage with respect to environmental and climate objectives is illustrated in currently discussed eco‐schemes. The article also provides details of eco‐schemes that directly target the objectives of the Farm‐to‐Fork Strategy. A significant contribution to those objectives will be required for the approval of the National Strategic Plans by the EU Commission. While this approval is due in the course of 2022, the assessment here is based on proposals as of January/February 2022. The information was gathered by researchers of two complementary projects EFFECT and CONSOLE that received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme.
