May
How can we work together for an environmentally effective CAP strongly underpinned by evidence? Part 1
The beginning of this year also marked the start of a new period for Europe’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). But how is the new CAP structured and what does it entail? How does the policy process leading to the agricultural policy look like both at EU- and the national level? And which implications does the newly implemented CAP and Sweden’s strategic plan have for farmers and other practitioners?
