The areas of Chapter 3.11 Agriculture and rural development comprise the largest part of the entire legislation in the European Union. The policies of the EU in the field of agriculture are aimed at ensuring sufficient food for all the inhabitants of the EU. Policies in the field of rural development are aimed at ensuring the development of rural areas, as well as ensuring the conditions for development, modernization and increasing food production. These policies are implemented through the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union. Due to the importance of the areas covered in it, this policy is created and implemented by the European Commission, and not by individual member states. The financing of the programs foreseen in the ZZP is financed from the common budget of the EU.
