Impact and Opportunities of the 2023-27 CAP Reform in Denmark

In this report, CONCITO analyses the implementation of the 2023-27 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform after its first year of implementation, using Denmark as a case study.

The focus lies on examining the new components of the reform, namely the New Delivery Model (NDM), the enhanced conditionality, and
the eco-schemes, and their contribution towards both the European Union (EU) and national objectives concerning climate, biodiversity, and the environment. Additionally, the report examines economic developments within Denmark’s agricultural sector in 2023 and offers insights into potential future agricultural policies in the EU. The report aims to provide a near-real-time impact evaluation of some of the most crucial greening measures and assesses their effectiveness. It does not cover the rural area development program, as the expected impacts of these funds are long-term and therefore have not yet occurred.
