Abstract

During the last decade, the European agri-food system has been facing major challenges due to the dynamics of the globalization of markets, the changed international context, increasing competitiveness. From the MacSharry reform in 1992, Fischler in 2003 with the Mid-Term review, Fischer Boel with the Health check in 2009, to 2014-2020 structural policies, has been modified the method of sector support (partially decoupled support) and, above all, initiating a rural development policy to improve the competitiveness of rural areas, protect the environment and rural heritage, promote the multifunctional role of agriculture. The competitiveness of the sector is an inseparable component of other important objectives, such as the multifunctionality of agricultural activity, the "non-productivistic" functions of agriculture. In this sense, the functions are enhanced environmental, landscape, social and recreational activities as characterization of the "European agricultural model" based on the small size of companies, the relevant presence of multiple employment and strong integration between agricultural activity and territory.
