Win-win share of agricultural areas

Caption

Caption: Win-Win Areas across EU-27 countries (a) Share of agricultural areas in which de-intensification of farming practices can deliver biodiversity and climate benefits with minimal cost. (b) Aligning CAP support with win-win areas could achieve greater biodiversity gains and carbon sequestration. The dashed line is the EU average planned CAP support for de-intensification measures. Countries are ranked by their share of win-win areas. Values reflect total planned annual budgets for extensification measures divided by utilized agricultural area. The figures represent comparable but simplified averages.
