Abstract: Agriculture is among the main drivers of Alpine cultural landscape diversity. Therefore the specific integration of landscape diversity into the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) objectives can potentially have an important effect on cultural landscape diversity. This paper presents an evaluation of a selected set of CAP’s agricultural measures and their impact on this diversity, using quantitative analysis combined with expert qualitative evaluation. Our hypothesis is that although the CAP’s measures consider landscape diversity up to a point, they are too general to embrace the diversity of European landscapes and may have unwanted impacts for the diversity of Alpine landscapes.
