Abstract

This study presents the results of a research analysing the economic incentives designed to encourage agro-energy production. The first part of the study provides a general introduction to the economic incentives used to develop agricultural activities aimed at the production of bioenergy. After a brief examination of the measures taken by policy makers in order to promote agro-energies, the study concentrates on the importance of monetary payments to farmers who by producing agro-energy also benefit the environment. The second part of the study analyses the incentives for the promotion of agro-energy production which are contained in the Rural Development Plans 2000- 2006 and 2007-2013 published by the Autonomous Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in an effort to understand how they have evolved.
