This introduction poses the questions, to what extent both instruments are collaborating to achieve positive environmental outcome. The paper presents an economic-ecological method to evaluate both EFA and AECM measures evaluation on arable land with respect to biodiversity. We investigate the effectiveness and efficiency and the spatial impact of EFA and AECM using the approximation method of the ecology score, which is based on an ecological ex-ante evaluation. The results show that EFA has taken a large area within Lower Saxony mainly with catch crops. The AECM has reduced it’s are from 2012 to 2016, however, increased its respective funds, which suggests a trend for more ‘dark green’ AECM. The spatial analysis shows that EFA achieves effects mainly in arable regions of Eastern Lower Saxony. Both measures show rather low coherence, only on 15.4% of the land we find synergetic effects of both measures. The funds per ecology score suggests, that EFA has a lower efficiency (596 EUR/ES) in comparison to AECM (307 EUR/ES). 000289800 546__ $$aEnglish 000289800 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000289800 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000289800 6531_ $$aGreening 000289800 6531_ $$aAgri-Environmental Programs 000289800 6531_ $$aBiodiversity 000289800 6531_ $$aAgricultural Policy 000289800 700__ $$aLakner, Sebastian 000289800 700__ $$aHolst, Carsten 000289800 700__ $$aPe'er, Guy 000289800 8560_ $$fjrc-172eaae-seminar@ec.europa.eu 000289800 8564_ $$970291ecb-23ac-461d-a660-bd28f4326427$$s3517545$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/289800/files/Lakner-Ecology%20impact%20of%20Greening%20and%20the%20Agri-Environmental%20and%20Climate%20Measures-208_a.pdf 000289800 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:289800$$pGLOBAL_SET 000289800 913__ $$aBy depositing this Content ('Content') in AgEcon Search, I agree that I am solely responsible for any consequences of uploading this Content to AgEcon Search and making it publicly available, and I represent and warrant that: I am either the sole creator and the owner of the copyrights and all other rights in the Content; or, without obtaining another’s permission, I have the right to deposit the Content in an archive such as AgEcon Search.
