Sustainable agriculture
The common agricultural policy (CAP) is built around three main goals to achieve a sustainable system of agriculture in the EU: economic sustainability, environmental sustainability, and the social sustainability of farms.
To meet these three main goals, EU countries use a wide range of targeted actions, which aim to address each country’s specific needs and make up CAP Strategic Plans. Through these plans, EU countries provide income support to farmers, support them in the transition towards sustainable production, and contribute towards the ambitions of the EU Green Deal.
