A proper EU budget is needed to ensure a change of generation in agriculture

An adequate budget must be available in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the period 2021-2027 in order to ensure the conditions for financing substantial support for generational change in agriculture – the report of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) on Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment (NAT) points out. The report was adopted in October.

The report emphasizes that generational change is a cross-cutting issue that touches many other topics and sectors. In addition to the measures of teh Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), national regulation also plays a key role in promoting generational change. (MTI)
