European Centre for Agricultural, Regional and Environmental Policy Research (EuroCARE)

European Centre for Agricultural, Regional and Environmental Policy Research (EuroCARE) GmbH is a consultancy specialized in quantitative and qualitative analysis of agricultural and environmental policies. It delivers scientifically sound and independent analysis, bridging the gap between academic research and policy design. The EuroCARE team consists of agricultural economists. It maintains close links to the Economic and Agricultural Policy group at the Institute for Food and Resource Economics (University of Bonn) which is leading in the field of policy impact assessment for agriculture. EuroCARE’s core service is the quantitative analysis based on complex simulation models such as CAPRI. Completed projects include analyses of the potential effects (1) of reforms of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy and trade policies,  (2) environmental policies as greenhouse gas emissions and carbon effects (LULUCF) in land using sectors, and non-CO2 emissions in agriculture, and (3) long-term drivers for agriculture and global agricultural markets.

EUROCARE's role in ACT4CAP27:

WP3 plans to enhance the capacity of models to address critical urgent societal problems (CUSP). In this work package (WP), EuroCare will contribute to a harmonized global input-use model (covering fertilizers, pesticides, and antibiotics) in Task 3.1 and will work on further extending CAPRI in the context of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Green Deal (GD) policies.

On more technical aspects, EuroCare will assess and provide feedback on the scenario explorer developed by IIASA (Task 4.3).

Additionally, EuroCare will contribute to further modular implementations and model linkages between the market and supply model (Task 5.2). EuroCare leads Task 5.3, which focuses on documenting analytical approaches and tools, and will initiate a peer-review session with other models (e.g., MAGNET, GLOBIOM).

Within the scenario work in WP6, EuroCare will contribute to the baseline, short-term scenarios (covering fertilizers, pesticides, organic targets, and the Ukraine war), as well as long-term scenarios focusing on the Green Deal, climate, biodiversity, and emissions/removals in LULUCF.
