    The practice of sustainable agriculture requires the adoption of legislative, economic, technical and technological measures to mitigate the effects of climate warming, with particular emphasis on the protection of the environment and biodiversity, but also on encouraging farmers to apply them, taking into account the profitability of agricultural businesses. The Common Agricultural Policy, oriented towards a number of pressing aspects, such as climate change, food security, sustainable management of natural resources and supporting rural areas, aims to maintain the vitality of their economy and preserve the environment. For this purpose, the National Strategic Plan of Romania for the period 2023-2027 includes, in the direct payments section, the eco-scheme "Beneficial practices for the environment applicable in arable land", a subsidy that can be accessed by farmers who own agricultural holdings with a minimum of 5 ha arable land, and which, for access, are conditioned by the allocation of 4% of the area held for non-productive elements, and on 5% of its area existing annual protein vegetable or leguminous crops, fixing nitrogen, which can be harvested. Also, from the specific conditions, to apply a beneficial practice for the environment, on choice: either the diversification of crops, or to practice a conservative type technology (no tillage/minimum tillage/strip tillage), or to practice fertilirigation or phase fertilization, or to apply measures to correct soil acidity (liming measures). These aspects represent a challenge for farmers, who must take into account new approaches.
