[QUOTE="le bon paysan, post: 6619471, member: 104"] I posted this elsewhere but for those who don't go there................ [URL]https://www.pleinchamp.com/actualites-generales/actualites/future-pac-vers-la-fin-des-aides-a-l-hectare[/URL] France Strategy recommends revising the Common Agricultural Policy by ensuring a minimum payment for all farmers, disconnected from production and surface, with the implementation of an environmental bonus-malus. [I]"It is possible to evolve our agricultural model with approaches favorable to the environment and the farm income,"[/I] said Gilles de Margerie, Commissioner General of France Strategy, a think-tank attached to the Prime Minister. On 23 October he presented a report presenting proposals for the future Common Agricultural Policy, entitled "Making the CAP a lever for the agroecological transition". With aid [I]"proportional to farm work rather than to farm size"[/I] , the first measure advocated by this think tank should help [I]"support agricultural employment". "It would allow on the one hand to ensure a minimum payment disconnected from the level of agricultural production, and on the other hand to take into account the increase of the workload during the transition from conventional practices to agro-ecological practices"[/I] which require more manpower, according to the report. France Stratégie advocates that farmers' compensation be organized in the form of a bonus-malus, equal to the environmental benefits they bring to society. On the one hand, crop diversification, grassland maintenance and maintenance of Ecological Focus Areas (EIS) would be remunerated. On the other hand, pesticides, fertilizers, persistent antibiotics in the environment and greenhouse gas emissions would be taxed. In return, the proceeds of these taxes would be fully used to [I]"pay agro-ecological contracts[/I] , [I]"[/I] according to the report. [I]"The current envelope allocated to the basic payment and the green payment would make it possible to pay the agricultural income assistance"[/I] , according to the think-tank, which envisages an annual aid of about 8000 euros per year per full-time equivalent, [I]"against 135 euros per hectare today on average in metropolis "[/I] . [I]"This change in the method of calculating the basic payment would require a European agreement,[/I] says the report, [I]so it could take longer to implement than the bonus-maluses."[/I] There would of course be [I]"winning farms and losing farms"[/I] according to their environmental practices and their rate of diversification, but according to the deputy director of sustainable development at France Stratégie, farms [I]"would win if they change their practices"[/I] [/QUOTE]
