Innovative Agricultural Interventions to Reach EU Biodiversity and Climate Objectives

Project
Duration
-

The CAP 2021-2027 aims to be a key tool in reaching the sustainability transition goals of the European Green Deal, including the climate action, the Farm-to-Fork Strategy and the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. It aims at ensuring a sustainable agriculture considering the economic, social and environmental sustainability dimensions.

This project will

  1. identify good examples, new and innovative interventions to contribute to biodiversity and climate objectives of the CAP;
  2. assess CAP Strategic Plan interventions that correspond to the biodiversity and climate ambitions in the four CAP Strategic Plans of Germany, France, Spain and Poland;
  3. analyze whether these interventions correspond to the scientific evidence and whether they are relevant and sufficient;
  4. consider co-benefits and trade-offs between different policy objectives.

This study is intended to feed into the European Environment Agency (EEA) and Eionet Group discussions and knowledge development about possibilities for enhancing the transition to sustainable food systems.
