We are in a time of change, where in addition to environmental concerns, there is also the need for agriculture and animal husbandry to be economically viable activities that take into account the good working conditions of the people who work there. A production model is needed that contemplates this triple sustainability: environmental, economic and social. It is for this reason that the Sustainable Agricultural Production (PAS) is presented, a production model that responds to the current and future needs of the Catalan agricultural sector.
The PAS is an opportunity for Catalonia, making available to the sector a self-improvement tool that will make it possible to know the current state of farm sustainability and apply solutions to improve results.
On the other hand, to help the transition towards this new model, the DACC has recently published an aid to calculate the environmental sustainability profile of farms, which is part of the Strategic Food Plan of Catalonia (PEAC).
