This evaluation determines how effective the options are for increasing the plant diversity in grasslands with legumes and herbs. Plant and soil data was collected from 76 parcels on 54 holdings, coupled with face-to-face interviews.

This evaluation seeks to determine the impact of Agri-environment schemes on conserving the botanical interest of lowland wet grasslands. A total of 99 grassland sites under Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) were surveyed in 2012, including sites previously under Environmental Sensitive Areas (ESAs) and those newly under an agreement.

This study, based in North Wales, looked at the effect of wild bird seed mixture and seeded ryegrass options on seed abundance and the winter condition and abundance of bird species, specifically reed buntings and yellowhammers. 

This report summarises a policy impact evaluation of Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF). Model assessments of environmental outcomes are validated through analysis of water quality monitoring data and underpinned by effective farmer engagement and advice delivery, achieved through a combination of CSF Officers, commissioned contractors, and partnerships with other organisations.

At the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, Bureau Bartels carried out the interim evaluation of the LEADER program under POP3. With this evaluation an overview has been obtained of the intermediate progress of the implementation and goals realised of LEADER. 

This evaluation aims to assess Measure 1: Knowledge transfer and information actions, and Measure 16: Forms of cooperation for innovation. 

This report looks at the progress of the new Agricultural Nature and Landscape Management system started in 2016. 

This memorandum describes which water quality measures are planned in the Netherlands, what they will bring about in terms of improving water quality and how the RDP contributes to this.

This report provides insight into the progress in this period of four measures from the rural development programme competitiveness cluster: In this interim evaluation, insight is given into the scope (to what extent are budgeted budgets and targets achieved) and the degree of effectiveness addressing both realized and still likely expected effects of the resources deployed. It also provides insights into the implementation and organisation of the four measures, including recommendations for the adjustment of the implementation.
