In Austria, regional agricultural representatives are demanding a significant role in shaping the EU's new renaturation law, which aims to restore ecosystems like wetlands and forests.
During a recent conference, they expressed concerns about potential impacts on farmland and called for a coordinated approach to implementation, emphasizing the need for compensation measures.
Critics argue that the law, part of the EU's Green Deal, could threaten rural infrastructure and agricultural productivity.
Meanwhile, advocates highlight the ecological benefits of renaturation, such as improved biodiversity and climate resilience.
The debate continues as stakeholders seek a balance between environmental goals and agricultural interests.
