INNOWACYJNOŚĆ W NOWEJ WSPÓLNEJ POLITYCE ROLNEJ

Innovativeness is one of the most significant determinants of the new Common Agricultural Policy from 2023. Along with climate protection, it is becoming a key consideration when allocating the European funds. The problem, however, is the overly broad understanding of this concept which is construed as ‘progress’ rather than ‘innovation’. In this regard, it seems justified to make an ex ante evaluation of the prepared legal solutions in the field of legal instruments aimed at implementing innovativeness in the Polish and European rural areas. Appropriate construction of these mechanisms will enable efficient and effective use of funds by farmers. Currently, one can only observe a search for innovative mechanisms that could help agriculture. The article evaluates selected mechanisms by applying the method of dogmatic law analysis and comparative law analysis.
