Common Agricultural Policy Reform and its Impact on Biodiversity and Livelihoods in Developing Countries - A review of scientific literature

This paper provides a review of scientific literature on the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and its impacts on biodiversity in developing countries. The review was requested by Europe External Policy Advisors (EEPA) and Tilburg University to validate the findings of the study by Van Reisen and Ramanjaneyulu (2011). It serves as a contribution to their study for the Dutch Foreign Ministry, in the light of the upcoming CAP reforms (due in 2013).
