Strengthening environmental ambition in the proposal for the CAP 2028–2034  - IEEP AISBL This briefing evaluates whether the Commission’s proposals for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the period 2028–2034 are fit to drive the scale of environmental and climate action Europe now needs. Despite some positive steps, the proposed framework could ultimately undermine environmental ambition if key weaknesses in funding, governance and performance monitoring remain unresolved.  

Can @ec.europa.eu proposals for the #CommonAgriculturalPolicy for 2028–2034 drive environmental and climate actions?

This briefing examines 3️⃣ key issues that will determine if the next CAP accelerates or hinders progress toward the EU's climate, biodiversity, soil and water objectives ⬇️

Poland is set to be the top beneficiary of the EU's €2 trillion budget (2028-2034), focusing on security and agriculture. However, proposed reforms have sparked protests among farmers. The budget needs approval from MEPs and member states.

#EUBudget2028 #Poland #CommonAgriculturalPolicy

The #CommonAgriculturalPolicy has not kept pace with today’s challenges. Current structures often disadvantage small farms and discourage innovation. A reformed CAP must support smarter, more sustainable agriculture fit for the 21st century.

🌾 EU's #CommonAgriculturalPolicy #CAP distributes billions 💶 but much of it fails to support sustainability or struggling farms.

It's time to realign how we invest in European agriculture ⤵️

Seeking simplification in the complex environment of EU agriculture: challenges and considerations - IEEP AISBL On 14 May 2025, the EU proposed major CAP reforms to cut red tape and boost flexibility, but some changes may risk weakening environmental requirements, long-term policy coherence and ignore calls for regulatory stability.

🌾 Can we simplify the #CommonAgriculturalPolicy without compromising the EU's environmental targets?
As the Simplification Package was just published, concerns are growing regarding long-term sustainability and policy coherence, both crucial for driving the shift to #SustainableFoodSystems 👇
