Betekenis van subsidies voor de continuïteit van landbouwbedrijven

Due to the changes in European agricultural policy, with the cut-backs in market support, the flow of funds in the form of direct payments to agricultural holdings is increasing. Thanks to this increase, the significance of these payments (subsidies) for the incomes of agricultural holdings (in the form of supplements) is growing, in addition to reimbursements for landscape management. This report provides insight into this. The report analyses the consequences of a number of possible changes in the supplements policy for the continuity of holdings. In this way, the report provides information that can be used in the further design and elaboration of European agricultural policy in the Netherlands.
