Country Side - Access and use of farmland
Agricultural land is a precious good and a special asset. It is essential for food, feed and energy production, and the delivery of public goods. It remains a matter within the competency of each Member State of the European Union on a national level. Yet, the acquisition of farmland and forestry itself is also governed by EU law, and as such has to follow its ‘four fundamental freedoms’: the free movement of persons, goods, services, and capital.
