“…For these features, its introduction in the intensive Mediterranean farming systems might be a long-term strategy in maintaining farming systems and practices that are particularly favorable to environmental and climate policy goals. Due to its large versatility, hemp can be grown under a wide range of agroecological conditions, contributing to the sustainability of arable cropping systems in agreement with the post-2013 CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) scenario (Amaducci et al 2012;Cosentino et al 2012;Matthews 2011;Struik et al 2000). In relation to the environmental conditions, the choice of cultivar becomes an essential aspect, both to increase the fiber production, and to enhance the coproducts such as the core, in the perspective of the full use of biomass in a cascade approach.…”

Finding a use for all components of hemp is key to improving the overall economics of fiber production from this crop. In this context, the core, a by-product of fiber production, has become increasingly important for new innovative applications. The aim of the present study was to compare traditional and new dioecious and monoecious fiber hemp cultivars in a 2-year field experiment in Central Italy, evaluating the variations on their fiber yield, bark and core production, and their chemical composition. The obtained results underlined the interesting potentiality of the new dioecious genotypes characterized by interesting fiber and nonfiber components which make their utilization appealing in several woven and nonwoven applications. Thanks to the interesting chemical properties recorded for the core fraction, the full use of hemp biomass in a cascade approach can contribute to the total valorization of this versatile fiber crop for a modern biorefinery facility.

“…First, as the current system of decoupled direct support suggests, a farmer need not even produce to receive a fixed income and therefore it is hard to imagine how he or she contributes towards ensuring global food security. Second, greening runs contrary to food security – by introducing super‐cross‐compliance type measures (Matthews, ), the competitiveness and profitability of farms is decreased; furthermore greening is another high‐cost policy to administer. Third, although coupled subsidies might help achieve food security in specific regions, the magnitude of their impact is doubtful.…”

On the Consistency of the CAP: Will European Agriculture Meet the Challenges It Faces?

Summary The latest reform of the Common Agricultural Policy has just been accepted, identifying important challenges for EU agriculture but proposing only limited changes to existing policy. Now it is time for the implementation of new measures. However, from a theoretical point of view, it seems that the CAP can hardly meet the challenges it faces due to the inconsistencies between the predefined challenges and the measures proposed to meet them. Economic, environmental and social challenges, identified by the Commission, do not seem to align with the measures proposed to meet them. Direct payments along with the EU's agricultural competitiveness and food quality policies do not help in reaching the food security goal, while greening measures can hardly contribute to the environmental challenges European agriculture is faced with. Moreover, current measures under the EU's rural development policy are ineffective in meeting the well‐known European social challenges. In addition, the CAP does not fully fit the needs of New Member States with different endowments and traditions. A new three pillar CAP, with phased‐out direct payments, focusing on climate smart agriculture and genuine rural development policy, along the lines we suggest, is key for the future.

“…Spanellis (2004) focus more on the export aspects of Greek agricultural products. Many other studies including Gorton et al (2009), Matthews (2011), Swinnen and Johan (2009) and Zahrnt (2009) have focused on CAP and its past present and future implications to farmers' income. In general, as seen in various EU commission reports, CAP has influenced decisively the total income of European farmers.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to identify and point out changes in the tax burden on farm income given the new tax legislation of 2016 according to which the farm income has the same tax treatment as the rest of the professionals. The paper initially presents the key determinants of tax burden through the latest tax legislation, like the new tax scales, and the relative tax rates of each scale. Furthermore, it presents a theoretical model regarding an indicative Gross Revenue and a Cost Index of a full-time farmer. By choosing to apply Monte Carlo Simulation with the Pert Distribution as analyzed below; we use @ Risk software to stress the tax parameter of Tax Scales, with intervals of ±10%, to identify how the parameter, has influenced the tax burden of farm income. From the findings we can conclude that tax scale has an abnormal effect to the tax burden of the Farm Income as the second and not the third scale has the most significant effect. As tax legislation evolves every one or two years it is important to point out that regarding farmers income the tax scale has a non-gradualnon-linear effect, which must be corrected to be more equal distributed along the income tax scales.
