Key points
- The decision introduces more flexible rules for maintaining the required ratio of permanent grassland within the agricultural sector.
- It aims to prevent farmers from facing unfair burdens caused by market-driven shifts, such as moving from livestock to crop farming.
- The rules account for situations where the grassland ratio drops due to administrative fluctuations rather than actual land conversion.
- The primary goal remains protecting carbon stocks by preventing the actual conversion of existing permanent grasslands into other uses.
