“…Aan de andere kant zijn boeren vaak bang dat goed gedrag wordt 'afgestraft' met een verplichting en het steeds verder aanscherpen van de norm. Ook als het gaat om gesubsidieerde maatregelen, zijn boeren sneller gemotiveerd voor makkelijke en goedkope maatregelen (McKenzie et al 2013;Van Herzele et al 2013). …”

“…Not every farmer will be willing to adapt his farming system so thoroughly (cf. Van Herzele et al, 2013). Land consolidation could be needed, as in the Operation Corncrake project in Denmark, where the land consolidation was organised by a farmers' cooperative (Nielsen, 2003).…”

“…Personal motivation, entrepreneurship, landscape and societal context may have a great influence on farm strategy in addition to the scheme itself (cf. Van Herzele et al, 2013). However, the case study illustrates how a system approach can influence farmers to substantially change their practices in a coherent way.…”

“…Van Herzele et al, 2013), because such schemes are voluntary and normally limited in time and space and impact on farm practice. Both the decision and the motivation have a dynamic character (Ingram et al, 2013) and can be reviewed on a mid-term basis.…”

“…The farming system and the AEM may well conflict if the measures are not in line with farmer's logic and the overall strategy of the farm enterprise (cf. Ingram et al, 2013;Van Herzele et al, 2013). To bridge this conflict, a payment alone may not be enough and the results of the AES may not be durable.…”

Many countries are reshaping their agricultural policies to better enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services (BES) in farmlands, but measuring the effectiveness of policy instruments in BES delivery is challenging. Using the European Agricultural Policy as an example, we propose the application of a farming systems (FS) approach as a cost‐effective tool for linking policy design and expected BES outcomes. On the basis of available data from subsidy payment agencies, such an approach can identify groups of farms that share similar management practices as well as the associations between FS and corresponding BES potential, and improve modeled outputs of farm management responses to policies and other drivers of change. We describe how this relatively unexplored source of information can help to support applied ecological research and relevant policy, and call for these data to be made available across Europe and elsewhere.
