This webpage is+ a toolkit for all those interested in CAP reform: politicians, civil servants, NGO activists, journalists and citizens. The aim is to foster a better understanding of what is at stake and how to shape the future CAP.

The editor is Valentin Zahrnt. He is an economist at the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE).

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) needs fundmental reform. Every year, € 54 billion – more than 40% of the EU budget – are spent without creating significant value for society.

In the future, European money should promote European public goods. And nothing else. This will allow us to better protect our climate and the environment, improve animal welfare, and stimulate economic growth.

+ 2014: A note on the website stated that the editor Valentin Zahrnt was seeking a replacement editor and no longer wanted to maintain the website. No updates in 2014 seemed to be appearing
