Ursula von der Leyen promite sprijin fermierilor europeni

Ursula von der Leyen praised European farmers as the best in the world and committed to supporting them against climate-related challenges. She announced plans for a European heatwave strategy and emphasized the need for better water management and insurance coverage for agricultural losses. Von der Leyen highlighted the importance of technology in agriculture, particularly precision farming, and the role of AI in enhancing productivity. A recent study revealed that only a fraction of climate-related agricultural losses are insured, costing the EU agriculture over 28 billion euros annually. The Commission aims to address these issues through new initiatives and strategic frameworks.
