- Legal and technical improvements for implementing agricultural and rural development measures.
- Enhanced data collection systems on farms (FADN) and improved market monitoring.
- Alignment with EU Regulation 2021/2115 through clearer definitions of farmer categories (active farmer, young farmer, farm holder, etc.).
