Abstract: Abstract Studies assessing the economic impact of the F2F strategy estimate significant losses in EU-27 agricultural production and global changes in markets that will affect other regions. We contribute with an estimate of the impact on individual EU Member States, which has not been assessed so far. The results show that the countries most affected are those with lower EU GDP, poorer economies, and more vulnerable to intervention in the agricultural sector. We also review the coherence of the F2F targets in light of progress to date and suggest improvements to meet EU policy objectives.
