Annual Review 2006

The Annual Review provides an overview of the evidence, to date, on environmental outcomes arising from CAP reform and other key drivers of agricultural change. The evidence has been drawn from a wide range of sources including commissioned external work, analysis undertaken by the Observatory team, economics and statistics analysis undertaken more widely across Defra as well as external sources. The report also highlights emerging patterns in terms of both positive impacts as well as potential risks to the environment and outlines the future work of the Observatory in response to these findings.
