Specific Details
Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) Strategic Plan - Future of Agriculture
Intended results
To emphasise that the European Commission has acknowledged and supports the strategic importance of agriculture and food production. Building on this will be crucial for the reset required.
To ensure that the EU Commission accepts that there has to be a twin track approach one to support food production and one to enhance climate action.
That, ultimately, actions need to match words here. Farmers must be allowed to farm, reducing the red tape and the growing administrative burden they face year on year.
To work with the new EU Commission and the European Parliament in the design of a new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that returns to its fundamental ideals of supporting farmers in producing high-quality, world-class food for consumers that also delivers a fair and sufficient income.
