List of potential agricultural practices that eco-schemes could support

Part of the CAP reform, eco-schemes aim to encourage the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices.

The Commission published a list of potential agricultural practices that the eco-schemes could support in the future common agricultural policy (CAP). This list aims to contribute to the debate around the CAP reform and its role in reaching the Green Deal targets. This list also enhances transparency of the process for establishing the Strategic CAP Plans, and provides farmers, administrations, scientists and stakeholders a base for further discussion on making the best use of this new instrument.
