Abstract

Sustainable agriculture represents a key aspect of the EU’s environmental policy, as it has a significant impact on biodiversity, soil quality, and water resources. The European Commission implements a set of policies aimed at aligning economic productivity with the protection of natural resources and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper focuses on the analysis of European Union policies in the field of sustainable agriculture, with particular emphasis on the strategic and legal framework. Special attention is given to the main instruments supporting the transition toward ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable models of food production: the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy, and the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030. Furthermore, examples of good practices implemented by certain EU Member States are examined. The findings highlight the necessity of amending future EU acts to incorporate digitalization, innovation, and the level of climate-related risks.
