Common agricultural policy
The common agricultural policy (CAP) is about food, the environment and the countryside. The CAP is a partnership between society and agriculture that ensures a stable supply of food, safeguards farmers’ income, protects the environment and keeps rural areas vibrant.
The CAP supports the vibrancy and economic viability of rural areas through funding and actions that support rural development. The CAP also contributes to the sustainable development of rural areas through three long-term objectives: fostering the competitiveness of agriculture and forestry, ensuring the sustainable management of natural resources and climate action, and achieving a balanced development of rural economies and communities.
