In 2023, the so -called Ecoschematics and have been arousing a lot of emotions since then. Theoretically, they are aimed at reducing the negative impact of agriculture on the environment and provide additional subsidies. However, in practice they can cause many problems. In addition, some changes have appeared this year. Each farmer using ecoschhemes should get acquainted with them.
Ecoschematy 2025 – what changes have occurred?
Probably the most important and broadly commented change is the introduction of restrictions on the total areas included in the ecoschematics. From 2025, the maximum area that can be covered by this program will be 300 ha. According to Top Agrar, this restriction will not include ecoschematics regarding water retention on permanent green use and subsidies for qualified seed.
The introduction of ecoschematics on the farm is associated with higher subsidies from the European Union. Therefore, the above changes hit primarily the largest farms. The Farmer.pl portal cites MRiRW data on subsidies from last year. Initially, 632 million are planned for them eurohowever, after accepting all applications, this amount increased to EUR 982 million. Therefore, it became necessary to introduce changes and restrictions.
The portal also quotes the voices of farmers who are not satisfied with these modifications. It is mainly about the potential receipt of additional funds from the largest farms. Many farmers have invested in new machines and seeds, counting on covering costs from subsidies for ecoschmatics. Meanwhile, the amounts are to be significantly limited. Such a late announcement of changes exposes them to additional losses – reports farmer.pl.
In 2025, new ecoschetes will appear
The ecoschemat list for 2025 will also be found new positions. One of them will be the use of qualified seed of cereals and legumes and qualified potato seedlings. In this case, one of the main requirements will be Slaming at least 25% of arable land with qualified seed.
Changes will also take place in the scope of biological plant protection. From 2025 it will function under the name “biological cultivation”and its most important assumption will be the use of microbiological fertilizer products, for which farmers will receive an additional additional payment.
In addition, smaller modifications are planned. For example, in the ecoschetate “animal welfare” The minimum distances were increased regarding the headquarters of the herd of dungeons and fatteningsand in ecoschemat “Agriculture Coal and management of nutrients “the score has been reduced, which is also associated with a reduction in the amount of funding paid.
