Description
As part of the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) Strategic Plan (financed by EU and co-financed by HU), Hungary plans to implement an intervention, aimed at providing support for non-productive investments in agriculture. Within this intervention, there is a dedicated target area for investments with water-protection purpose. The legal basis of the intervention is the CAP Strategic Plan of Hungary, which has been adopted by the Europen Commission on November 7th, 2022. Hungarian farmers will be able to apply for calls for proposals - that will be based on the intervention - and earn financial support for the implementation of their project.
Hungary expects to provide support for the following activities in the 2021-2027 period:
- Creation of a coastal water-protective buffer zones
- Creation of wetlands by retaining excess water appearing in the area and by rewetting areas
- Creation of facilities for local water retention and creation of temporary or permanent open water surfaces
- Creation and development of facilities that provide protection from erosion
Theses eligible actions will contribute to the Target 6.6 of SDG 6: "By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes"
