The document summarizes research on how incentives for conservation compliance have changed under the 2014 Farm Bill compared to previous legislation. Key findings include:
- Conservation compliance incentives under the 2014 Farm Bill are similar to previous legislation but vary significantly across farms, with some farms seeing lower incentives.
- Crop insurance subsidies are a major component of compliance incentives and removing this link would significantly reduce incentives on many farms.
- Incentives for wetland compliance are generally strong in the Prairie Pothole region.
- Analysis of soil erosion data suggests conservation compliance has helped significantly reduce erosion from water on highly erodible cropland over the past 30 years.
Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc reported its unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

In what ways do commercial practices and technologies affect the nature of news?Akbar Kiani
Commercial practices and technologies significantly affect the nature of news in several ways. Commercial practices help generate revenue but can also introduce biases if reporters are influenced by advertisers. New technologies have enabled citizen journalism and real-time reporting, allowing amateur reporters and bloggers to break stories and point out errors in mainstream media. This has shifted power dynamics and eroded the authority of traditional gatekeepers as the public can now access a wider range of sources. Mainstream outlets are adapting by adding blogs and scanning alternative sources for new leads, but the broadcast model continues evolving away from scheduled programming toward personalized, data-driven content tailored to individual viewers.

The document discusses Ireland's proposed Eco-Scheme which will begin in 2023. It will be a voluntary annual scheme funded through Pillar 1 of the CAP. Farmers can choose from a list of 8 agricultural practices that provide benefits to the climate, environment, water quality and biodiversity. These practices include actions like increasing non-productive landscape features, limiting chemical nitrogen usage, planting trees/hedgerows, and sowing multi-species swards. The scheme aims to partially compensate farmers for income foregone or additional costs from participating. Administration will be integrated with BISS applications and payments are expected in late 2023.

The document summarizes recycling rates across the United Kingdom. Recycling rates have plateaued in England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland and are likely to miss the 2020 EU target of 50% recycling for household waste. Wales has been more successful in meeting recycling targets due to greater government intervention and funding to local authorities. Austerity measures have negatively impacted recycling in most areas by reducing budgets for waste management. Carbon emissions are also being considered more in evaluating waste systems rather than just tonnages recycled.

This document discusses options for recycling revenue from carbon pricing and considers the trade-offs between household fairness, business competitiveness, economic growth, emissions reductions, and public acceptability. It analyzes six options for revenue recycling: transfers to households, reducing income taxes, investing in infrastructure, clean technology, reducing government debt, and supporting industry. Through modeling different scenarios, it finds that revenue recycling can address challenges from carbon pricing while supporting broader economic and environmental goals, but the best approach depends on each province's unique context. It recommends that governments use revenue recycling to address fairness and competitiveness, clearly define objectives, use a portfolio of approaches, and adjust priorities over time.

During the budget session of 2024-25, the finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, introduced the “solar Rooftop scheme,” also known as “PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.” It is a subsidy offered to those who wish to put up solar panels in their homes using domestic power systems. Additionally, adopting photovoltaic technology at home allows you to lower your monthly electricity expenses. Today in this blog we will talk all about what is the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. How does it work? Who is eligible for this yojana and all the other things related to this scheme?
10. Greening
• Separate from basic payment
• 30% of Direct (Pillar 1) Payments
3 elements:
• Crop diversification
•
Permanent grassland
•
Ecological Focus Areas (EFAs)
10
11. Greening - 1
Crop diversification
• Arable area 10 – 30 Ha: 2 crops
– Main crop < 75%
• Arable Area 30 Ha or more : 3 crops
– Main crop < 75%
– 2 crops < 95%
Winter & Spring crops = defined as separate11
13. Greening - 2
Permanent Grassland
• Continuous grass for 5 years+
• National ratios will apply to amount kept
•
Conversion to arable use same rules
• EIA and SPS are very separate issues!
13
14. Greening - 3
Ecological Focus Areas (EFAs)
• 5% of arable area
• Eligible if arable land >15 Ha
• Defra have option to choose its own
certification scheme.
• Potential complexity makes it very unlikely
14
15. Greening - 3
Ecological Focus Areas options:
• Land laying fallow;
• Terraces;
• Landscape features;
• Buffer Strips;
• Supported agro-forestry;
• Uncultivated land along forest edge;
• Areas of short-rotation coppice;
• Afforested areas established under rural development
schemes;
• Areas with catch crops or green cover;
• Areas with nitrogen fixing crops.
15
16. Greening Exemptions
• “Green by definition”
• Certified Organic
• Natura 2000 (SSSIs)
• „Approved‟ schemes
• More than 75% Permanent Pasture
• Double Funding
16
17. Revised agri-environment
schemes
• Revised scheme as part of the new look RDPE
• Could lead to a more competitive scheme with
higher environmental standards
• Dual Use
• Likely to lead to reduced payment rates
17
18. Regional Payments
England is currently broken down into 3
payment areas:
– Non-SDA, SDA and Moorland
• Defra likely to amend these areas and
payment amounts

21. Active farmer / Negative List
• 2 parts:
1. „Negative List’
•
Exempt if direct payments > 5% of ag. income
•
Exempt if ag. activities are „not insignificant‟
•
Exempt if principal objective is ag. activity
2. „Minimum Activity’
• Cannot specify stocking density or cultivations
• Focus on whether it can be grazed or cultivated
21
22. Negative List
• Water Works
• Airports
• Railway Services
• Permanent Sport & Recreation Grounds
• Real Estate Services
• Member States can extend this list
22
23. Capping / „Degressivity‟
•
A new one for the Oxford English Dictionary!
• Capping – no longer on the table.
• Minimum reduction in payments over €150,000 of 5%
• Only subject to 70% of Direct Payments (not greening)
• Salaries could be offset against deducted amount (unlikely
in England).
23
24. Minimum Claim Size
•
The minimum claim size will be increased
from 1 Ha to 5 Ha
•
Around 15,000 RPA claimants in 2012 were
<5 Ha
• 50,000 Ha of land covered
• Cross Compliance failures high in this category
24
25. Entitlements
• Historic payment areas: re – establish
• Flat rate areas: option to roll-over
• Many issues to consider:
1. Final date for RLE1 transfers in 2014?
2. Rules for transfers under new CAP
3. Sales in 2014?
4. National reserve allocations
25
26. Young Farmers Scheme
•
Mandatory
• Up to 2% of Direct Payments
• Younger than 40
•
Additional annual payment
for 5 years
• 25% top up of average
payment per/Ha
•
Limit can be set between 25
Ha – 90 Ha
• Eligibility criteria can be set
26
27. Horizontal Regulation
Very similar approach to the current SPS system
Cross compliance
• SMRs – will remain
• GAECs – Scope for some to be removed
- Rights of Way, Injurious weeds
• Penalties – both for cross compliance and
greening
27
28. Claiming post 2015
• All claims are likely to be online only
• All AES and BPS schemes will be in one place
• CLA in discussion with DEFRA on how to deal with
those who cannot go online
• The CLA are lobbying for hard copy guidance...
28
29. Rural Development: Pillar 2
• Reduced budget
• Revised agri-environment schemes
• Performance Reserve
• Leader
• European Structural and Investment Fund (SIF)
