Abstract
The aim of this contribution is to evaluate the impacts of the European Commission proposals on rural areas of the Emilia-Romagna Region in Italy. The model considers the three main characteristics of the CAP 2014–2020 reform, and in particular measures the impact of greening criteria on land allocation in different farm systems and economic effects on rural areas. It will show which rural systems and types of farm will be favored or penalized by the reform. The model will also provide results on dynamics in land use. The assessment is made using an “integrated” regional model based on Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP).

AGEA is the Italian official body entitled to pay farmers eligible for CAP payments. Farmers have to provide AGEA with all the information related to agricultural activities including land use.
