Summary/Abstract: The European Green Deal as a new EU strategy aiming to reach no net emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by 2050, as well as economic growth which is not tied to resource use, while leaving no person or place behind, was presented and adopted right at the beginning of the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Despite the obstacles, new strategies and laws were adopted during the pandemic years. Reaching the objectives of the Green Deal requires various changes in different sec- tors. One sector that has a significant role in achieving those goals is agriculture. This research focuses on the special role of agriculture within the European Green Deal and how agri- cultural production and farmers can contribute to the achieve- ment of the European Green Deal objectives. In this context the Farm to Fork Strategy and EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 were analyzed. Special focus was set on the correlation between those strategies, the European Green Deal and new Common Agricultural Policy for the period 2023–2027.
