Frequently Asked Questions on Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) & Farm Payments Regulations

What are GAEC standards in EU agricultural conditionality?

Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions (GAEC) are statutory baseline standards for soil protection, crop rotation, buffer strips along watercourses, and non-productive areas that farmers must comply with to receive full CAP direct payments.

What are CAP eco-schemes and how do they incentivise green farming?

Eco-schemes under Article 31 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 are annual voluntary payments rewarding farmers for practices exceeding baseline conditionality requirements: organic farming, precision agriculture reducing fertiliser use, enhanced crop rotation, agroforestry systems, and biodiversity-promoting measures. Member States must allocate at least 25% of their Pillar I direct payment envelope to eco-schemes.

What simplifications were introduced in the 2024 CAP conditionality revision?

Regulation (EU) 2024/1468 amended CAP conditionality by relaxing GAEC 8 (removing the mandatory crop rotation requirement, replacing it with crop diversification), granting blanket exemptions for farms under 10 hectares, broadening force majeure provisions for weather-related crises, and giving Member States flexibility to adapt environmental conditionality to local farming conditions.
