The document discusses public goods from private land management in the EU. It argues that environmental market failures related to agriculture are underestimated and undermine food and environmental security. It advocates for paying private land managers to deliver environmental services and public goods through measures like agri-environment schemes and cross compliance to address issues like biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change. Precisely defining and measuring these public goods is necessary to justify related EU policies and budget allocations.
