In the perspective of a CAP reform and changes of the agricultural budget after 2013, Notre Europe undertakes a prospective study on the conditions under which European agriculture could fit into the world economy over the next twenty five years. This study scrutinises the factors set to affect agricultural activity in Europe and comes up with proposals for a new agricultural policy.

Contrary to studies undertaken over the last twenty years, this research paper does not confine itself to economic issues. It also takes into account agriculture's political and sociological dimensions, setting its questions in a European framework.

Access to the publications below.

CAP reform beyond 2013: An idea for a longer view
Study by Louis-Pascal Mahé, Jean-Christophe Bureau | 27/05/2008
This publication is the result of Task Force work launched by Notre Europe in the end of 2005. The ambition of this contribution is to reconsider without taboos the objectives of a European farm policy with a long view; to assess the instruments currently in place; and, drawing lessons from the past, to make suggestions on how to design the future CAP due in 2013.

Note by Nadège Chambon | 30/11/2009
