The evaluation of existing policy was supported by the study An economic assessment of GHG mitigation policy options for EU agriculture (EcAMPA 2) [1].

The EU baseline is composed of a combination of sources, to which modelling contributed. All details can be found in the Impact Assessment SWD/2018/301. Mentioned here are the DG AGRI EU agricultural outlook 2016 and 2017 [2] and the study Scenar 2030 - Pathways for the European agriculture and food sector beyond 2020 [3] outlining projections for EU agriculture in 2030.

For the assessment of policy options, the study Scenar 2030 [3] plus the models CAPRI, IFM-CAP, MAGNET, AGLINK-COSIMO, RUSLE2015 and CENTURY are used, for details see SWD/2018/301.
