Present research tries to identify and analyse main structural agricultural models within European Union, whose classification could be useful to define policies and tools of intervention, in view of new programming period (2014-2020). The research is focused on the analysis of agricultural features in 247 regional areas (NUTS 2) of all European countries and has been carried out adopting a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to identify the main factors that differentiate agricultural systems in EU countries, taking into account a specific set of social and economic indicators. Afterward, by applying cluster analysis on the results of PCA, we classified the different regional areas into homogenous groups. The results allow a general classification of “homogeneous agricultural areas”, whose categorization may be useful to better understand the characteristics of the European Union countryside and better orientate the planning of the new CAP.

Abstract
Present research tries to identify and analyse main structural agricultural models within European Union, whose classification could be useful to define policies and tools of intervention, in view of new programming period (2014-2020). The research is focused on the analysis of agricultural features in 247 regional areas (NUTS 2) of all European countries and has been carried out adopting a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to identify the main factors that differentiate agricultural systems in EU countries, taking into account a specific set of social and economic indicators. Afterward, by applying cluster analysis on the results of PCA, we classified the different regional areas into homogenous groups. The results allow a general classification of “homogeneous agricultural areas”, whose categorization may be useful to better understand the characteristics of the European Union countryside and better orientate the planning of the new CAP.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
