### Proposals for Policy Measures and Interventions on Specific Objectives of the New CAP
#### 4.2.2 Proposals for Policy Measures and Interventions on Specific Objective 5 (E55)  
The diagnostic analysis and assessment of the current situation of Agriculture highlighted the priorities of Specific Objective 5 (ES5) of the new CAP, to promote sustainable development and the effective management of natural resources, their strong interconnection and interaction with the climate mitigation and adaptation objectives, a fact that is reflected in the proposed interventions, which concern the protection and more efficient use of natural resources, but at the same time contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions, increased carbon sequestration and adapting to climate change. In the context of interdependence, synergy, and complementation of the specific objectives of the CAP for the environment and the climate, the following proposals for policy measures and interventions are formulated. ES5-SP1: Reduce Ammonia Emissions in Agriculture  
The proposal for these specific measures is based on the need to plan and implement more intensive and more targeted interventions to limit ammonia emissions, with an emphasis on animal husbandry, which is the main cause of the problem. In this direction the proposed interventions mainly focus on:  
* Promotion of organic agriculture and animal husbandry. * Preservation and expansion of permanent pastures. * Rational management of manure and mineral fertilizers. * Diversification of livestock nutrition, in terms of the composition of the mixture ofrations with a reduction in their protein content, making use of the relevant results of scientific research, through the development of pilot collaborations in the context of the corresponding horizontal measure for their transfer in livestock practice. ES5-SP2: Promote Sustainable and Efficient Management of Water Resources  
in Agriculture  
The proposal for this specific measure is based on the need to immediately manage the problem of the adequacy and quality of irrigation water. The seriousness and criticality of the problem prioritizes it among the major issues that must concern the design of the new CAP in our country, in synergy with the provisions in complementary national policies on water and climate change, such as the updated Watershed Management Plans for Rivers. Interventions aimed at more effective management and more efficient use of irrigation water should focus on:  
* Supporting private water-saving investments in agricultural holdings, by providing incentives (such as high aid rates and preferential access to flexible financial lending tools to cover the investors' own participation),
* Implementing a specialized investment program for the restructuring of water-bearing crops or varieties, with new ones that demonstrate adaptability/resistance to drier conditions and have a shorter biological cycle, with priority in the areas most affected by climate change based on modern agro-climatic zoning,  
ES5-SP3: Sustainable and Effective Soil Management in Agriculture  
The proposals for this specific measure are based on the need to protect the soil resources from pollution, erosion and flooding, degradation of their fertility, salinity and desertification, so that they continue to provide vital services in plant nutrition and agricultural ecosystems. Interventions aimed at sustainable and effective soil management focus mainly on the implementation of extensive practices to improve the structure of agricultural soils, enrich them with organic materials and protect them from erosion and flooding, with an emphasis on the areas most exposed to the effects of climate change, such as permanent pastures and sloping agricultural land.
