D5.6: Policy implications on new AECPG contract solutions : CONSOLE, CONtract Solutions for Effective and lasting delivery of agri-environmental-climate public goods by EU agriculture and forestry Research and Innovation action: H2020 - GA 817949

This document concentrates on policy implications from the CONSOLE project. It looks at both the conditions necessary for a successful establishment of novel contract solutions and the policy design issues related to each of the four types of contracts examined in Console. For the four contract types looked at: land tenure related, result-based, collective and value chain approach, favouring factors like suitable context, acceptance and opportunities for application are described followed by a set of design elements and strategies for implementation. A particular focus is put on the Common Agriculture Policy with the next programming period starting in 2023. Attention is also given to contracts combining features typical for one contract type with another, as such hybrid solutions are often found in practice. Contract solutions making use of public funding are looked at as well as those being fully based on private funding.
