| Abstract: | The goal of this article is to propose a management concept that enhances the ecological and cost efficiency of agri-environment measures. In the article, it is examines that: 1) components of the concept are a comprehensive environmental information base with prioritised goals and targets and new remuneration models, which complement conventional compensation payments that are based upon predetermined measures and cost. 2) comprehensive landscape planning locates and prioritises areas which require environmental action. The author argues that 1) it contains the information that authorities need to prioritise funding for environmental services and direct measures to sites which need environmental services beyond the level of GFP. 2) appropriate remuneration models, which can enhance the cost efficiency of public spending and the motivation of the farmers, can be applied on the base of landscape planning. |
