For a sustainable future for Europe's Agriculture

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is one of the EU’s oldest and most important policies. Since its creation in the 1960s it has ensured the world’s highest standard of food security, safety and quality in Europe. For the 2021-2027 period, the European Commission is proposing an ambitious total budget of €365 billion meaning that the CAP will account for just under one-third of the total EU budget, underlining the continued importance of the policy.
