This document represents deliverable D2.3 "Report on European in-depth case studies" within workpackage WP2 "Diagnostic of existing experiences on agri-environmental-climate public goods (AECPGs)" of the EU Horizon 2020 project CONSOLE. The report on European in-depth studies gives a short introduction of the deliverable's objectives and the tasks addressed. It describes the process of in-depth data collection and shortly introduces the criteria being the basis for performance assessment, as well as the types of contract solutions considered in the project. The document then provides an in-depth insight into 26 CONSOLE in-depth studies: it describes the main contract features of 5 contract solutions qualifying as result-based/result-oriented contract solutions, 7 as collective implementation/collaboration contract solutions, 6 as contract solutions based on the value chain, and 3 contract solutions characterized by land tenure arrangements with environmental clauses. Moreover, 5 contract types representing combinations/hybrids of contract types are presented. The report outlines how different agri-environmental-climate public goods (AECPGs) are addressed by the different contract types, revealing that differences exist in the numbers and the kind of AECPGs addressed. The analysis shows for example that biodiversity represents the AECPG most often addressed and indicates, that result-based and result-oriented contract solutions are mainly implemented to target single, specific AECPGs, while collective implementation focusses rather on the improvement of broader bundles of AECPGs on territorial levels. The report analyses framework conditions and context situations under which contract solutions are implemented, particularly discussing 1.) environmental conditions, agricultural/forestry background and socioeconomic features, 2.) policy conditions, 3.) legal conditions, 4.) the role of institutions and formal structures and 5.) technology aspects. The last part of the report is devoted to the analysis of contract specifications and performance of the contract solutions. Here, the results of the evaluation of the importance of performance criteria for the success of contract solutions are described, giving a deeper insight into the 10 performance criteria and how they are important for the success of the different contract types. A major part of the analysis is then devoted to the description of design principles for high performance. Here best practice examples out of the in-depth sample are provided. The report concludes with an overview of the main findings, and gives and outlook on the further use of the results for scientific analyses and for practice.

This document represents deliverable D2.4 "Report on WP2 lessons learned" within work package WP2 "Diagnostic of existing experiences on AECPGs" of the EU Horizon 2020 project CONSOLE. The document brings together results and conclusions of WP2 Task 2.5. Particularly, the results from the analysis of solutions from inside the EU will be complemented with experiences beyond the CONSOLE EU case studies in order to derive inspiration and additional ideas for improvements of European solutions in WP3 and WP4. Moreover, the lessons learned will give first an overview for policy makers on innovative and successful solutions "outside the box".

This questionnaire is for the survey to farmers that is to be carried out in the LIFT project, to at least 1,500 farms across the European Union (EU) in the LIFT case study areas. The LIFT large-scale farmer survey represents a key task that provides value added to the LIFT project and informs EU policy anal-ysis as a whole. The innovation is that it collects primary qualitative and quantitative data at the farm level, but also that data will be comparable across a large geographical area, across different produc-tion sectors, as well as across different farming practices/systems. The survey aims at collecting infor-mation that is not available in existing data sources, and that will be used in the analyses of the project.
