Common Agricultural Policy

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a policy framework established by the European Union to support its farmers and ensure a stable food supply. It aims to enhance agricultural productivity, provide fair living standards for farmers, and promote sustainable farming practices. CAP offers financial assistance and subsidies to farmers, helping them manage the risks of market fluctuations and environmental challenges. It also emphasizes rural development and environmental sustainability, striving to balance agricultural growth with the health of the countryside and ecological preservation. Overall, CAP plays a crucial role in shaping EU agriculture and rural communities.
