| Abstract: | This article presents two cases involving stakeholder participation in agri-environmental development and policy making, targeted at different policy-making levels. 1) It was undertaken in Lower Saxony where a local partnership developed and tested an agri-environmental prescription, which was later included in the state's menu of agri-environmental schemes. 2) In Sachsen-Anhalt, state-facilitated stakeholder workshops including a mathematical model were used to optimise the programme planning and budget allocation at the state level. They aim at improving the acceptance of agri-environmental schemes. The authors gauges the effectiveness of the two approaches and discuss what lessons can be learned. The experience suggests that the approaches can complement one another and could also be applied to rural policy making. |
