Evolution of Biodiversity Protection in the Framework of European Common Agricultural Policy
Journal Title: Journal of Environmental Law & Policy - Year 2024, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The Common Agricultural Policy has undergone continuous evolution over the years, moving from a narrow, production-oriented approach to an agriculture with holistic approach, in which agricultural activity is intended to be treated having harmonious and sustainable utilization and rational management of natural resources and components of nature. The goal of protecting biodiversity within the Common Agricultural Policy becomes increasingly visible with each successive financing period; yet its fulfilment encounters numerous difficulties, primarily due to the resistance of Member States to introducing far-reaching changes, as well as due to the resistance of agricultural environments considering the indicated changes as striking their interests. The aim of this article is to evaluate the legal solutions adopted within the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy, both in its initial period of validity and the period commencing from year 2000, when the focus on environmental issues became significantly more prominent. This article also evaluates the currently applicable financial perspective in the context of its potential for protecting biodiversity in agricultural activities.
