eco schemes

According to preliminary data, 6 800 kilometres of bio-strips have already been created in the first year of the agricultural policy to break up large monoculture fields and create space for biodiversity. This is 32 times more than in the entire previous seven-year subsidy period.

The Strategic Plan of the Common Agricultural Policy of the Republic of Croatia 2023-2027, for the first time, enables the provision of support for eco-schemes as one-year climate and environmental interventions within direct payments. Although green payments are being phased out starting from 2023, eco-schemes do not directly replace them because green payments were mandatory for direct payment beneficiaries, while obligations for implementing eco-schemes are voluntarily undertaken by the beneficiaries.

Another CAPTIVATE Multiplier Event was conducted yesterday in Sisak, Croatia! 

Event was organised by project partner IPS Konzalting, as part of the seminar „New EU calls in agriculture“. Focus of the seminar was introducing particpants, mainly farmers, with novelties of the new CAP 2023 - 2027 with an emphasis on EU green ambitions and connected rules and requirements for farmers.
