The agricultural sector faces
many challenges — climate warming, environmental protection requirements,
changing socio-economic dynamics in rural areas and ensuring food security.
Food production and proper land management are key areas that can contribute to
achieving the ambitious objectives of the European Green Deal and achieving
Europe’s climate neutrality until 2050. Farmers are key actors in ensuring its
implementation on the ground.
In this context, adequate EU budget support is
needed through a reformed, more flexible Common Agricultural Policy and funding
for more sustainable and intelligent farming practices. Support for precision farming and the digitalisation of the sector will be key
enablers for the implementation of the European Green Deal in order to improve
the optimisation of agricultural production, i.e. produce more with less input.
