Slovakia's CAP eco-scheme has seen high uptake among farmers for a voluntary measure that involves dividing large arable fields with flowering strips. This initiative promotes the establishment of grassy landscape features to break up large monocultures, with parcel size limits of 50 ha (20 ha in protected areas).
