Farm Level Indicators for New Topics in Policy Evaluation (FLINT)

FLINT defines Farm Level Indicators to improve the policy evaluation on (amongst others) cross compliance, sustainability and innovation in the CAP. The data collection on these indicators has ideally to be linked to the current Farm Accountancy Data Network in which data on costs of production and incomes are collected on 75.000 farms over the EU-27, but alternatives will be explored. In the project foreseen harmonized data on the Profit, Planet and People indicators will be collected in a pilot-network in several European countries with an invitation for others to join. Data will be stored in a central database (after permission of the collaborating farmers of course) and used to investigate how this date improves policy evaluation.
