Goal and strategy

Luxembourg’s strategy aims to ensure sustainable development in the agricultural sector, implementing the CAP’s economic, environmental, and social objectives. One of the main priorities is to ensure fairer income for agricultural producers and to strengthen the competitiveness of agricultural and agri-food businesses. Focus is also given to ensure generational renewal in farms, specifically by supporting the establishment of young farmers. Lastly, Luxembourg’s Plan also aims to further develop organic farming, reduce the use of pesticides, greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia emissions, and to promote carbon sequestration.
