Project risks
•Low profitability of agriculture production and rather unfavourable outlooks for the near future, which will not facilitate the implementation of agri-environmental investment projects.
•Unfavourable farm structure in terms of acreage and considerable fragmentation of farm plots (small acreage of fields).
•Many self-government authorities lack development strategy and even if they are available not all of them are sustainable or environmentally friendly.
•No system is in place to prepare agricultural advisors to deal in all the aspects of specialised farm holdings from the viewpoint of a code of Good Agricultural Practices in a comprehensive manner.
•Demographic tendencies,
•Limited capacity of local authorities to provide funding for agri-environmental measures.
