The bases on which the “road map” will be based on the future of agriculture and food of the European Union in 2040 are being considered by the European Commission.

It has already presented its “vision of agriculture and food” as well as the march to the forthcoming multi -year budgetary framework concerning the European Union’s budget after 2027, aiming for a subsequent long -term budget, which will satisfy European Union’s expectations and emerging priorities.

“Combined announcements present the goals of the European Commission that will subsequently influence both the European budget and the institutional framework of the joint agricultural policy of the following programming period 2028-2034” told the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency and the Secretary General Baginet.

According to him, “we can say that the trigger for the start of the dialogue for the next joint agricultural policy after 2027 and the changes it will include. This dialogue must deepen in practice, with continuous and more efficient interaction with farmers, our fellowship agencies, and our feders to them ”.

The basics of the announcements regarding the future of the CAP after 2027

The basic guidelines that the European Union will follow in the debate on the new joint agricultural policy that will be implemented after 2027 aim at the best targeted financial support, coexistence of the agricultural sector with nature for better support, renewal of generations, food independence and new approach.

In detail:

Best targeted support

Food security and nature protection support Europe’s quality of life, but face specific difficulties. Based on the recommendations from the strategic dialogue on the future of agriculture, and the vision of agriculture and food, a common agricultural policy that is suitable for the intended purpose must provide targeted support to farmers who need it most, promoting positive environmental and social results through rewards and rewarding flourishing rural areas.

Public support through the CAP is still necessary to support farmers’ income. However, the future support of the CAP will be more oriented to farmers active in food production, economic well -being of farms and environmental maintenance.

In addition, support should be further oriented to farmers who need it most, with particular attention to farmers in areas with natural restrictions, young farmers and young farmers, as well as mixed farms. With regard to this, the possibility of enhanced use of measures such as the progressive reduction and the imposition of ceilings, taking into account the different structural and sectoral realities of the Member States, will be considered.

Coexistence of the agricultural sector with nature for better support

A climate neutral economy offers farmers new opportunities for complementary sources of income. Specific examples are the developing sector of organic production and ecological agricultural practices (such as anthropomorphic agriculture and bio -economy) that combine economic potential with environmental results and social responsibility.

The future CFP will evaluate how farmers can be provided better to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their agricultural and livestock activities. In addition, gradual steps are being taken to raise private funding, which should be further explored as a complementary source of income beyond public support.

Strategy for renewing generations

The future of food self -reliance in Europe in 2040 depends on young farmers and young farmers today. The European Commission will direct work on the renewal of generations, which will be presented in 2025, in close cooperation with the Member States. This strategy will provide recommendations for the political reaction and the measures required, both at the Union and the national and regional level.

Food independence

Today, the European Union’s food self -sufficiency depends largely on imported inflows, such as fertilizers, feeds, proteins and energy. Therefore, reducing these strategic dependencies and minimizing the risks for supply chains are crucial.

New funding approach

In the light of political and fiscal challenges, so that the European Union’s budget can achieve these goals, the existing funding situation requires change.

A new approach to a modern European Union budget should focus on: a) a plan for each country with basic reforms and investment, with a focus on our common priorities and b) a European competitiveness fund for the creation of an investment capacity that will support strategic sectors and technologies for European Union.
