Question for written answer E-002446/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Ioan-Rareş Bogdan (PPE)
The transition to more sustainable agricultural practices that contribute to climate mitigation, adaptation and the restoration of ecosystems is a challenging process.
In this context, regenerative agriculture, with its focus on soil health, carbon sequestration, water retention and biodiversity enhancement, is increasingly recognised as a promising approach to address these interconnected challenges.
Despite its potential benefits, regenerative agriculture is not yet defined within EU policies. Farmers willing to adopt such practices often face barriers, including limited financial incentives, technical support and market recognition.
- 1.How does the Commission intend to support and integrate regenerative agriculture in order to ensure consistency between policy design, funding and monitoring at EU level?
- 2.What measures will the Commission take to promote research, innovation and knowledge transfer on regenerative farming systems and to ensure that small and medium-sized farms can benefit from these advances?
- 3.Does the Commission plan to strengthen financial and technical support for farmers who adopt regenerative agricultural practices?
