The European Commission has published a list of potential agricultural practices that eco-schemes could support in the future Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Part of the CAP reform currently under negotiation between the European Parliament and the EU Council, eco-schemes are a new instrument designed to reward farmers who choose to go further in terms of environmental care and climate action, according to commission representatives.
This list aims to contribute to the debate around the CAP reform and its role in reaching the Green Deal targets, the commission says. These include ambitious targets set down under the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity strategies.
