The project aims to evaluate how different forms of investment support, such as subsidies for livestock housing or agricultural machinery, can increase climate efficiency in Swedish agriculture (i.e., reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production within Sweden's borders). We also analyze the impacts of these subsidies on profitability and food production. Furthermore, we compare investment support with other policy instruments to evaluate its cost-effectiveness in relation to reducing the climate impact of Swedish agriculture.

The analyses are conducted using the AgriPoliS model, which is further developed to quantify the effects of different types of investments on greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. The project is carried out in collaboration with the Swedish Board of Agriculture, which also funds the project. The project will be completed in 2026.
