Muljeid Euroopa Komisjoni briifingult Euroopa Liidu Ühise Põllumajanduspoliitika tulevikust

Euroopa Komisjon esitles 14. detsembril Tallinnas Euroopa Liidu infokeskuses oma 29. novembril avaldatud teatist ÜPP tulevikust. Midagi põhimõtteliselt uut võrreldes dokumendi lugemisel nähtavaga seal ei selgunud, mõned nüansid ehk, eelkõige aga said kinnitust juba varajasemad muljed. Poliitika kahesambaline struktuur ilmselt säilib, sel paistab olevat ka liikmesriikide toetus. See muidugi ei tähenda, justkui ei peaks keskkonnaühendused jätkuvalt kinnitama senist seisukohta, et kahesambaline struktuur on oma aja ära elanud, kuid tegelik võitlus kandub nüüd paratamatult sammaste rahastamisele.

Environmental and agricultural organisations, farmers, scientists, officials and other participants attended a conference on 1st and 2nd of September in Tallinn and Matsalu to discuss the future of the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP). Despite their versatile background, most speakers found that the CAP requires significant changes. Multiple participants signed an open letter addressed to the Agriculture and Fisheries Council of the European Union and other relevant EU decision-makers with their proposals how to repair the policy. Speakers at the conference stressed the importance of agriculture in providing food and various public goods. At the same time negative sides of the present-day agriculture like impact on water, problems with pesticides, biodiversity loss, hardship faced by family farms and land grabbing were discussed. Positive examples of dealing with these problems were also presented. The overall conclusion shared by most speakers, however, was that CAP does secur...

EKO: The near future must bring a turn towards greener agriculture

Yesterday, on April 27th, the Estonian Chamber of Environmental Associations (EKO) sent a set of proposals to the Minister of Rural Affairs for the next seven-year cycle of agricultural policy. EKO emphasizes that Estonian agricultural subsidies of the new funding period must focus more on organic farming, preserving landscape biodiversity, preventing of water pollution and conservation of soil's good health and restoration of carbon sequestration. Edges of fields, which are rich in blooming plants, help to preserve the biodiversity of landscapes and the natural benefits that are important to farmers. Often, however, the field edges look the opposite as in this photo, made by Aveliina Helm (University of Tartu) EKO's proposals for a new period in agriculture are based on expert knowledge and increasing volume scientific analyzes of the environmental impact of European and Estonian agriculture. EKO acknowledges that many of the activities and grants planned for the new period ar...
