Abstract

The relationship between agriculture and the environment is stimulating increasing public attention and seeking specific public policy responses. Given that decision-making process should be evidence-based it is necessary to design and monitor the indicators that serve to create appropriate agricultural and environmental improvement measures. The paper provides an overview of the measures and chosen agrienvironmental indicators of all Member States (EU-28) for the available years in period 2012-2017 based on Eurostat data. Among other things, the results show that Croatia, Bulgaria and Slovenia are the leaders in the utilized agricultural area under the Natura 2000 ecological network. Member States that have the most developed agricultural sector usually also exert the greatest environmental pressure. Thus, the Netherlands has the highest share of energy used in agriculture and puts the greatest environmental pressure on livestock production. Therefore, through the current reform, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) seeks to develop adequate and compromise agri-environment measures for the upcoming period 2021-2027.
