(29a) Women in the agricultural sector face several challenges.

(42) In the light of the need to fill the investment gap in the Union agricultural sector and improve access to financial instruments for priority groups, notably women farmers, young farmers and new entrants with higher risk profiles, use of the InvestEU guarantee and combination of grants and financial instruments should be encouraged. Since the use of financial instruments across Member States varies considerably as a result of differences in terms of access to finance, banking sector development, presence of risk capital, familiarity of public administrations and potential range of beneficiaries, Member States should establish in the CAP Strategic Plan appropriate targets, beneficiaries and preferential conditions, and other possible eligibility rules.

Member States and the Commission should aim at eliminating inequalities and at promoting equality between men and women and integrating the gender perspective, as well as at combating discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. The Funds should not support actions that contribute to any form of segregation, discrimination or exclusion. The objectives of the Funds should be pursued in the framework of sustainable development and in line with the Aarhus Convention and the Union's promotion of the aim of preserving, protecting and improving the quality of the environment and combating climate change as set out in Article 11 and Article 191(1) of the TFEU, while applying the polluter pays principle.

(32) Member States should be allowed to use part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments for coupled income support in order to improve competitiveness, sustainability, and/or quality in certain sectors and productions that are particularly important for social, economic or environmental reasons and undergo certain difficulties. Furthermore, Member States should also be allowed to use an additional part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments to grant coupled income support specifically for the support of protein crop production in order to reduce the Union's deficit in this regardCoupled income support should respond to clear environmental or social need or benefit. In line with 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement, coupled income support should not have negative effects on developing countries and should not create distortions of the internal and international market, which adversely impact on agro-food sector investment, production and processing development in partner developing countries, but should only be granted for production methods that are more animal- and/or environment-friendly than the legal minimum standard requires. Furthermore, Member States should also be allowed to use an additional part of their financial ceiling available for direct payments to grant coupled income support specifically for the support of protein crop production in order to reduce the Union's deficit in this regard while minimising the impact of the Union´s consumption of agricultural commodities on global deforestation, notably soy and oil palm products. Therefore the production of leguminous plants grown as part of a crop rotation on arable land should be supported as part of a Union-wide protein strategy aimed at decreasing import dependency on soy and animal feed from third countries.
