The role of extension workers in implementing the CAP's green architecture instruments: extended conditionality and eco-regulations. Less bureaucracy for farmers and extension workers?
The new CAP, through the so-called ''green architecture'', contains a number of new approaches and guidelines for dealing with the relationship between agriculture and the environment and for combating climate change. These instruments include strengthened cross-compliance for receiving subsidies, participation in eco-schemes and the implementation of agri-environmental measures.
In this context, it becomes relevant to know what role advisors play in the implementation of these instruments: From the challenges posed by increased cross-compliance, eco-schemes and agri-environmental measures in terms of bureaucratic simplification and implementation on the ground, to the current situation, needs and solutions envisaged in the different countries, to the acceptance of the new measures by farmers.
During this workshop, working groups will discuss what measures and methods rural advisors should use to support farmers, what obstacles and opportunities may arise and what elements are needed to facilitate the achievement of the green architecture objectives.
