Agroforestry in the CAP post 1.1.2023

Agroforestry is mentioned in nine sections of the Strategic Plan Regulation.  EURAF welcomes these mentions and especially Article 4 which makes clear that agroforestry is an integral part of agricultural land. It remains to be seen how Member States will interpret the GAEC-8 rules in relation to tree-landscape-features, and the agroforestry options in Ecoschemes (Pillar I).  Agroforestry is also recommended for inclusion in the Pillar II Agri-Environment-Climate Measures and Investment Measures (Pillar II).
