Abstract

Facing the opinion about the ambiguous impact of decoupled subsidies on productivity, the article aims to check whether there are some CAP programmes contributing to the greening trend, which have a positive impact on productivity in FADN regions. Second research question is whether the CAP schemes create social sustainability? A two-stage panel analysis was carried out in the years 2007-2012: in the first stage clusters of regions with significantly different farming were identified; in the second the impact of particular CAP mechanisms on productivity was determined. It is concluded that, depending on the sustainability of farming, there are some CAP ‘green’ programmes which have a positive influence on productivity.
