Description
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2023-2027 brings with it novelties compared to the approach of the previous, closing programming period 2014-2022. Each EU member state implements a single CAP Strategic Plan in which funding for income support, rural development and market measures is brought together.
Italy's CAP Strategic Plan (SPP) was approved on 2 December 2022 by European Commission Implementing Decision C(2022) 8645 and subsequently amended and approved in version 5.1 on 18 June 2025 by Commission Decision C(2025) 3805 final.
For the purposes of the implementation at regional/provincial level of the Interventions put in place to support rural development, financed by the EAFRD, each region and autonomous province has drawn up a document called the "Rural Development Programming Complement" (CSR). The provincial document was approved by Resolution of the Provincial Council no. 262 of 17 February 2023: for Trentino's rural development, 17 Interventions have been activated, for a total of available resources amounting to Euro 198,960,232 with a co-financing rate of 40.70% EU resources, 41.51% national resources and 17.79% provincial resources.
The strategic choices that determined the setting of Trentino's rural development policies for the 2023-2027 programming period were decided in the course of 2022, with deliberation of the Council no. 1543 of 26 August 2022. In brief, the interventions to be activated range from biodiversity to support for mountain areas, from the competitiveness of farms to the development of rural areas, from specific investments in the processing and marketing of agricultural products to diversification into non-agricultural activities, from support for organic production areas to the management of meadows and pastures, and finally to support for young farmers and training.
