Since 2023, a new format of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been implemented in Europe. Market forces alone cannot guarantee land services, which can be described as flows of goods and services from ecosystems to human systems as functions of nature. Market forces also cannot ensure food security everywhere and at all times, so deliberate measures should incentivize farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices and maintain necessary skills and resources. This study identifies, quantifies, and interprets four narratives that are typical in the approach to food security and the public debate about the land services in the CAP Strategic Plans: (A) provision of land services within the Pillar 1 economics; (B) small vs. large farms; (C) direct payments in comparison with rural development; and (D) choices by the old and new member states. Participatory processes, descriptive statistics, and partial component analysis were used in terms of the methodology. The key finding is that the importance attached to eco-schemes varies among member states, although a majority dedicate approximately 25% of the Pillar 1 budget to them. We showed that small-scale farming countries move resources from Pillar 2 to strengthen direct payments. In contrast, affluent countries with robust agricultural structures can afford to reinforce Pillar 2 rural development through transfers from direct payments. To support small-scale and medium farms, appropriate support requires a combination of several measures, including the sizable hectare payment in Pillar 1 and farmer-oriented agri-environmental measures.

This study aims to analyze the direct and spillover effects of agricultural productivity and other determinant variables on environmental quality in Java-Bali Island from 2015 to 2022. The data is in the form of a panel, sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Indonesian Ministry of Environment. The method used to answer the study objectives is through a spatial autoregressive model (SAR) with a weighting matrix of three nearest neighbors. The results show that the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors and the industrial sector are the biggest contributors to environmental damage in Java-Bali. Meanwhile, increasing real GRDP per capita and the burden of dependent workers can actually improve environmental quality. Meanwhile, democracy has not been able to play an important role in environmental issues. The implication is that a strong commitment is needed to change production habits, especially the agricultural and industrial sectors that are more environmentally friendly with innovation and utilization of technology. The concentration of democratic activities in responding to environmental issues also needs to be strengthened.
