Comparing organic and conventional farm incomes in FADN - Issues in international harmonisation and quality assurance

摘要

The main user group of farm income comparisons are policy makers and interest groups. For them, depending on their goals, income comparisons can help in identifying the need for adaptations to existing policies or the introduction of new policy measures. In principle, farm income comparisons can also support the monitoring and ex-post evaluation of policy impacts on organic farming. The more detailed these analyses are the more valuable they can be, e.g. if income comparisons are differentiated by farm type, this may contribute to make policies more targeted and efficient.
