COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS

Abstract

The concentration of plant and animal production as well as the increase in agricultural chemisation lead to degradation of the natural environment of rural areas. The deteriorating condition of the environment requires the introduction of corrective mechanisms. As part of the Common Agricultural Policy, the role of pro-environmental projects is played by agri-environmental programs, which in the current financial perspective are referred to as agri-environment-climate measures. They constitute an obligatory mechanism for supporting pro-environmental activities, which must be developed by each Member State of the European Union, but it is the agricultural producers themselves who decide whether I will participate in it.
