Fostering the Delivery of Private and Public Goods from Perennial Cropping Systems Through Policy Measures

Short Introductive summary

Perennial cropping systems can fulfil desired ecosystem services and functions, described as private goods (e.g. biomass or income opportunities for farmers) and public goods (e.g. carbon sequestration, reduction of erosion risk, shelter or enhanced habitat for biodiversity). However, there are several bottlenecks and barriers to the successful cultivation of perennial crops. This study therefore aims to 1) inform policy makers on EU and national level about opportunities of perennial biomass crops for addressing several societal challenges, including climate change, loss of biodiversity and provision of feedstock for green transformation of the economy into a Bioeconomy, and 2) to provide recommendations for supportive policies that foster the implementation of perennial biomass cropping systems.
