The project is made up of eight workpackages:
|
WP1
WP2
WP3
WP4
WP5
WP6
WP7
WP8 |
Project financial and administrative management, reporting to the Commission
(Leader - Dr Simon Mortimer, UK)
Project technical coordination and dissemination
(Leader - Dr Simon Mortimer, UK)
Review of current AES aims and identification of universal and locally specific issues; desk-based review to identify the diversity of agri-environmental objectives across a representative selection of schemes in all EU-25 Member States
(Leader - Dr Jozsef Angyan, Hungary)
Review of existing AES evaluation and assessment of the validity of impact model assumptions; desk-based review of use of impact models in AES evaluation
(Leader - Prof Joergen Primdahl, Denmark)
Conceptual and practical development of the validity of the Agri-Environmental Footprint Index (AFI) including identification of key environmental issues and appropriate indicators
(Leader - Dr Gordon Purvis, Ireland)
Availability of indicator data and identification of information gaps; assessment of existing national and EU-wide information-gathering exercises and data sets
(Leader - Dr Karlheinz Knickel, Germany)
Feasibility studies to customise and calculate the Agri-Environmental Footprint Index; testing AFI in case study areas with involvement of local stakeholders in weighting indicators
(Leader - Dr Julian Park, UK)
Application of the AFI to assess environmental effectiveness of AESs in a number of case study areas and investigation into the wider uses of the AFI eg as a policy making tool
(Leader - Dr John Finn, Ireland) |
Each workpackage is led by a different partner but draws on input from the whole team.
Groups of local stakeholders will be consulted in WP7, which will test the AFI methodology on a series of case study applications in the seven participating countries.
The project benefits from the advice given by a Panel of National Experts (PONE), a group of senior agri-environmental scientists and AES policy-makers/administrators from 16 Member States. PONE members will provide feedback on the development of the AFI (WP5), to ensure that its methodology is practical, applicable and appropriate to AESs in a wide range of countries.
