How to apply climate-smart CAP eco-schemes in semi-arid farming | Experiences at La Junquera farm

Summary in the original language of the document

In this video, the team at La Junquera hosts a Climate Farm Demo Day, focusing on implementing eco-friendly schemes in semi-arid regions like Murcia, Spain. These eco-schemes are voluntary measures that farmers can adopt to receive additional payments from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The demo highlights practical steps farmers can take to implement them, helping to mitigate and adapt to climate change while maintaining productivity. The event covers six land categories, including tree crops, cereals, and pastures, and introduces practices like vegetation strips, crop rotation, biodiversity islands, extensive grazing, and sustainable cutting. By promoting knowledge exchange, the event encourages farmers to adopt these new eco-schemes effectively, even in challenging climates.
