Assessing the effect of the Green Deal on the agricultural sector requires looking at the overall situation created since its adoption. The purpose of the article is to review the individual elements of the Green Deal and the regulations based on it, in order to identify the potential effects on the agricultural sector. The assessment should consider not only the direct impact on production, exports, competitiveness and farmers' incomes, but also on food prices and food availability. The contribution of agriculture to climate, natural resources and biodiversity should also be taken into account.
