Key details have emerged on the proposed Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) National Strategic Plan, which will outline how CAP will work in Ireland after 2023 (depending on developments in the EU this week).
In recent days, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has shared these details with farm organisations.
Some aspects of this were already made public, including the Basic Income Support for Sustainability (BISS), which will be the successor to the current Basic Payment Scheme (BPS).
One of the main areas of the plan will be the flagship environment scheme that was promised in the Programme for Government – referred to in these latest proposals as an ‘Agri-Environment Climate Measure’ (AECM).
