Eco-regeling tegen het licht: Een bijdrage aan een herijking

The Dutch ministry of LNV wants to carry out a limited recalibration of the Dutch eco scheme, based on a points system for eco-activities. To do so, it is looking at adjusting entry requirements and introducing threshold values. This study investigated at what level the point requirements for the medal colours bronze, silver and gold could be set in order to use the budget more effectively. This could be achieved by increasing the entry requirement (for bronze) by 20% to 6 points per ha, and by introducing thresholds for silver and gold of 8 and 12 points per ha respectively.
