Abstract: Eco-schemes (ESs) have been introduced in 2023 as a new instrument of Pillar 1of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). They are foreseen to take a central position within the Green Architecture (GA) aiming to improve the environmental and climate performance of the CAP. Member States (MSs) are given a great degree of freedom to design and implement the ESs according to their needs. While MSs have to allocate a significant share of their CAP budget to the ESs, participation is voluntary for farmers. Even after the second year of national implementation the question of whether the new ESs contribute to an enhanced environmental sustainability of the CAP remains unanswered.
