European Union Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a key framework of the European Union designed to support farmers and promote sustainable agriculture. It aims to ensure food security, maintain rural livelihoods, and protect the environment. CAP provides financial assistance to farmers, encourages environmentally friendly practices, and seeks to balance agricultural production across EU countries. By stabilizing markets and ensuring farmers receive fair income, CAP helps secure a reliable food supply while fostering rural development and ecological sustainability in the EU.
