CAP Pillars

The CAP Pillars refer to three key strategies used by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to support farmers and rural areas in the European Union. These pillars are: 1. Income Support – providing financial aid to ensure farmers can earn a stable income. 2. Market and Price Measures – stabilizing markets and prices to prevent severe fluctuations that could harm farmers. 3. Rural Development – investing in rural areas to promote sustainable growth, environmental health, and diversification of agriculture. Together, these pillars aim to create a balanced, resilient agricultural sector and vibrant rural communities.
