Croatia-PIF
The development objective of the GEF-funded project is to increase significantly the use of environmentally friendly agricultural practices by farmers in Croatia’s Pannonian plain in order to reduce nutrient discharge from agricultural sources to the Danube River and Black Sea. In support of this, the project will assist the Government of Croatia to: (i) implement the EU Nitrates Directive and thereby strengthen national policy, enforcement and implementation capacity for agricultural nutrient pollution control; (ii) develop a Code of Good Agriculture Practices and promote the adoption of the recommended farming practices with on-farm demonstrations of the priority environmental conservation investments; and (iii) public awareness campaign that would disseminate the knowledge about the choices the farming community will have at its disposal while responding to the more stringent requirements for reducing nutrient loads (nitrogen and phosphorous) entering local water bodies.
