WBCSD analysis of what it actually costs small European farms to transition to regenerative agriculture. The numbers: 61% less synthetic nitrogen, 75% less pesticides, 20% higher gross margins — but transition costs of €2k-5k per hectare with a 5-9 year payback. EU incentives can cut payback to 5 years, but a €1,400-4,100/ha funding gap remains. Directly relevant to Maxlerhof’s situation as fuel and fertiliser prices spike from the Iran war disruption.
