Abstract: Agri-environmental schemes (AES) are intended to promote sustainable agricultural management. However, in the context of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy, AES in their current implementation have not met expectations regarding their potential to protect biodiversity and ecosystem services. Model-based analyses are particularly suitable for investigating how policy measures should be designed to achieve greater acceptance.
