| Abstract [eng] |
This master’s degree thesis “The analysis of the agri-environmental policy of the European Union and Lithuania” is theoretical-analytical work. The main EU and Lithuania’s laws, regulating agri-environmental policy implementation and scientific literature are broadly analyzed in this thesis. Lithuania’s agri-environmental programme has changed in many aspects since 2004 and the programme of this (2007-2013) programming period is developed to ensure better environment protection in agricultural sector. Nevertheless, national agri-environmental programme does not provide sufficient level of biodiversity conservation. In thesis there are provided three possible agri-environmental schemes that could improve Lithuania’s agri-environmental programme. They are “Grassland bird species protection”, “Conversion of arable land to grassland”, “Conversion of abandoned land to grassland”. The implementation of these schemes could improve biodiversity conservation, protect and enhance agricultural landscapes in Lithuania. |
