Today we would like to present a publication that is the result of the combination of two projects funded by the European Union: CONSOLE<\/a> and EFFECT<\/a>, with the participation of the partners of the NOVASOIL project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable agriculture is an increasingly important issue around the world, and the European Union (EU) is no exception. The EU has implemented a number of policies and programmes to promote sustainable agriculture, and one of the most recent is the use of eco schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eco-schemes:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eco schemes have become a key tool for sustainable agriculture in the EU. These schemes are an important part of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which is the main funding instrument for agriculture in the EU. The eco schemes are a way of financing sustainable farming practices such as organic farming, crop rotation and grassland management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this publication points out, agri-environmental schemes should not be confused with agri-environmental climate schemes (AECS). While AECS focus on environmental and climate protection, eco schemes focus on promoting sustainable farming practices in general.<\/p>\n\n\n
