European Agricultural Policy

European Agricultural Policy (CAP) aims to support farmers, ensure food security, promote sustainable farming, and protect the environment across the European Union. It provides financial aid, encourages modern farming practices, and promotes rural development. The policy balances economic viability for farmers with ecological and social goals, such as preserving biodiversity and rural communities. Funded primarily through EU budgets, CAP has evolved to become more environmentally friendly and market-oriented, striving to create a sustainable, competitive, and resilient agricultural sector in Europe.
