Abstract

The Agri-Environmental Scheme (AES) and the Agro-Ecological Programme (AEP) play a key role in promoting sustainable agriculture in Hungary. The aim of these support schemes is to encourage farmers to use environmentally friendly and resource-efficient production methods, thereby contributing to the preservation of soil fertility, the maintenance of biodiversity and the protection of water resources. The essence of sustainable agriculture is that economic production should remain in harmony with the natural environment in the long term, minimizing harmful environmental impacts such as excessive use of chemicals, soil erosion, or water pollution. The AES and AEP not only provide financial support, but also promote the widespread adoption of sustainable practices, thereby contributing to reducing the ecological footprint of the agricultural sector and laying the foundations for long-term food security.
