CSR 23-27

The National Strategic Plan CAP 2023-2027 has been approved by the European Commission on 2 December 2022. The plan implements a unitary strategy by combining the tools of the Common Agricultural Policy and those of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

The Plan has the aim to promote agricultural work e quality forestry and job security,  support the ability to activate exchanges of knowledge, research and innovations and the optimization of the governance system.

In the National Strategic Plan, rural development interventions are planned as “national interventions with regional specifications”, thus taking into account the specific characteristics of agricultural systems agro-food and forestry and rural areas, from an economic, social and territorial point of view.
