A vision of the future of the Common Agricultural Policy
The reforms proposed by the authors intend to ensure the economic, social and environmental
sustainability of rural regions and place agricultural policy on a fundamentally different basis. The scope
of community and state intervention will change. Payments linked to production will be cancelled and the
provision of public goods will be rewarded instead. At the same time, measures aimed at enhancing the viability
of the rural economy and society will become more significant. The depth of the changes calls for a new name
expressing better the new approach, so instead of CAP the use of a more justified name is suggested: Common
Agricultural and Rural Policy (CARP). This paper outlines the vision and the major proposals we suggest to
meet the above mentioned goals
