Abstract:

The study is of an interdisciplinary nature, that combines elements of institutional and agricultural economics analysis with ecological references. It is based on the analysis and assessment of Poland's environmental architecture described in a Strategic Plan for the new CAP. The study was conducted in 2020, in 3 conservation areas, located in south-eastern Poland. The aim was to present proposals for ecologisation of agriculture and agricultural production presented in the new CAP 2021-2027, using the new elements of that policy (eco-schemes). Special attention was given to environmentally significant production issues, including growth of the level of deagrarisation and deanimalisation processes, as well as the production-related and economic decline of agricultural holdings. Moreover there were proposed four new eco-schemes, that involve extending protection of seminatural communities in conservation areas, as an addition to agricultural, environmental and climatic measures.
