Rural On AIr AI-LAB is a digital communication tool that supports information and knowledge transfer of all outputs of Italian CAP Network to the Italian agricultural sector and rural development.
In this podcast, Mario Cariello (CREA PB) reviewed the scientific article "Bridging the Gap: The Impact of Compensatory Measures on Mountain Farming in Piedmont" originally published on Bio-Based and Applied Economics, Special Issue 13th AIEAA Conference and, through the use of artificial intelligence, produced a podcast that describes its contents in an informative way.


This  study examines  the  impact of  the  Rural Development  Program  (RDP) on reducing  income disparities  between farms  in  mountainous and  non-mountainous  areas in  Piedmont.  Using Farm Accounting  Data  Network data  from  2012–2022, the  analysis  focuses on  cattle,  sheep and goats, and fruit farms. The findings  indicate  that significant  income  disparities are  primarily  observed in  small  farms specialized in cattle and sheep and goats, with mountain farms facing a net shortfall. While compensatory allowance support helps reduce this gap a substantial  disparity  remains. Bridging the gap entirely would require doubling compensatory payments, though alternative strategies are discussed.
