The European Union Farm Accountancy Data
Network (FADN) publishes data for the representative
farms of several European Union (EU) farm types, regions
and countries. In this database, the published data for
the farm types allow us to assess several agricultural
policies. In fact, the FADN publishes data for the EU
farming types and there are not many studies about these
fields in the whole European context. This study aims to
bring novelty for the whole spectrum of stakeholder types
in these domains. The analysis of these impacts may
bring relevant insights, especially, for adjustments in
the design of future strategies and plans. We analyse
the evolution of the EU farm types in the last two decades
with significant scenario changes like two large common
agricultural policy (CAP) reforms (2003 and 2013) and
suggest new approaches to the design for future measures. Statistical information from the FADN over the
period 2004–2018 is considered. In addition, efficiency
and productivity assessments are carried out, to assess
the implications of the most recent instruments of the
CAP. The results show that the policy instruments in
the framework of the 2013 CAP justify the use of more
inputs (or at least at higher costs) for the same level of
output. In fact, the subsidies given to the farmers since
2014 mask the inefficiencies underlying some farm types.
A significant decrease in the total factor productivity
confirmed this trend, despite positive growth rates for
the total verified output for several farm types over the
period.
