Towards a Greening of Pillar 1 and an efficient Pillar 2

Opinion of the Agriculture Commission at the German Federal Environment Agency (KLU) on the Reform of the Common Agricultural Policy


The EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) intends to enable farmers to engage in multifunctional production by providing incentives or compensating farmers for measures and public goods not sufficiently remunerated by the markets but for which there is a societal demand. The CAP thus provides an important foundation for supporting the agricultural sector in meeting the European environmental and sustainability objectives by 2020.
