Abstract: In the new Common Agricultural Policy, the rural economy diversification will respond to the priorities set forth in the European Green Deal on the long term, for the rural areas, through actions that will be much more responsive to current and future challenges of climate change, while continuing to support farmers’ activities and investments in primary and secondary processing of agricultural products, non-agricultural activities and rural infrastructure. The paper analyses the current situation as well as the perspectives of the implementation of actions related to the diversification of non-agricultural activities at national level. The methodology used is based on the analysis and synthesis of information published in specialised articles and studies, as well as in governmental and non-governmental reports. The obtained results demonstrate that European funds have supported a significant growth of non-agricultural activities, contributing to the increase of rural population’s incomes, job creation and narrowing the disparities between rural and urban areas.
