It is also important to know the Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC) standards:

Preservation of permanent grasslands. This standard is aimed at preserving the share of permanent grasslands in relation to the total area of agricultural land.
Protection of peatlands and wetlands, which is important for reducing carbon emissions and preserving natural ecosystems.
Ban on stubble burning. This standard prohibits the burning of stubble and crop residues in fields, as this leads to the loss of organic matter in soil and significant greenhouse gas emissions.
Buffer zones along water bodies with a minimum width of 3 meters must be established along rivers, lakes and canals.
Soil cultivation management aimed at reducing the risk of degradation and erosion. This standard is intended to minimize soil erosion and protect the fertile layer through appropriate cultivation methods.
Minimum soil cover. Farmers must ensure soil cover during periods when soils are most vulnerable to erosion, for example during heavy rains, strong winds, or during the off-season after harvesting, especially in regions with a high risk of erosion.
Crop rotation involves the regular replacement of crops grown on the same field in order to reduce the risk of soil depletion and the spread of pests.
Preservation of landscape elements. These include trees, hedgerows, ponds, stone fences and other natural features that play an important role in biodiversity conservation.
Protection of grasslands in Natura 2000 areas. This prohibits plowing or changing the designated use of permanent grasslands identified as environmentally sensitive in these territories.
