The fourth Policy Brief in the APD Moldova series examines the risk management framework for Moldovan agriculture, with a particular focus on insurable climatic and sanitary risks. As agricultural producers face increasing exposure to climatic adverse events and animal diseases that can affect production and income, the publication analyses the approaches adopted by EU Member States and draws relevant lessons for the further development of risk management mechanisms in the Republic of Moldova.

The third Policy Brief in the APD Moldova series focuses on how the European Union ensures the delivery of public goods in agriculture through effective governance systems for plant and animal health, food safety, animal welfare, and environmental protection. Building on the experiences of EU Member States, the publication examines the institutional and operational mechanisms that enable the implementation and enforcement of the EU’s Statutory Management Requirements (SMRs).

The 2^nd Policy Brief in the APD Moldova series focuses on the experiences from the EU Member States on agricultural institutions and building administrative capacities. Doing so, the policy brief focuses on the first two priority areas defined under the 5-layered recommendation structure of the 1^st policy brief.

1. Presentation of Chapter 12: Food safety, veterinary and phytosanitary policy – The rationale and the systems of the framework for the protection of human, animal and plant health in the EU
