Examining the Relationship Between Direct Payments, FarmerAllowances, and Farmers’/Rural Basic Income

Key Points

• The aim is to explore the relationships among direct payments, farmers’ allowances, and basic income based on institutional characteristics and core principles.
• Analyzed institutional features of direct payments, farmers' allowances, farmers' basic income, and rural basic income.
• Classified schemes based on whether they are considered 'basic income' or 'not basic income'.
• Identified two groups: 'basic income types' (farmers’ basic income, rural basic income) and 'non-basic income types' (direct payments, farmers allowances).
• Found that direct payments and farmers allowances can be integrated due to their similar nature.
• Noted that while both groups function similarly, the former has a spatial policy character, and the latter has a sectoral policy character.
