PRESS RELEASE: European Union’s agricultural policy needs a significant change

Image
Environmental and agricultural organisations, farmers, scientists, officials and other participants attended a conference on 1st and 2nd of September in Tallinn and Matsalu to discuss the future of the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP). Despite their versatile background, most speakers found that the CAP requires significant changes.

The delegated regulation, however, fell short of what is necessary to protect our health and environment from the hazards of EDCs, and as such was not in accord with the delegated powers given to the Commission by the existing regulations on pesticides and bio...

Conference in Estonia: "CAP 2020. Towards sustainable agriculture"

We are pleased to invite you to attend the conference "CAP 2020. Towards sustainable agriculture" - an international event dedicated to the future of EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). What? The conference is focused on the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and its reform. Is CAP sustainable? What do we expect from CAP after 2020? How can the next CAP support a living land? What kind of CAP would keep family farms alive? What kind of CAP would ensure the development of organicproduction? Farmers, farmers organisations, NGOs and public sector representatives from all over the Europe will share their views and hopes on today and for future common agricultural policy. The aim is to have open discussions on CAP reform and to reach more balanced and environmentally sustainable agriculture. The event has two parts: On the 1st of September 2017 there is a conference in Tallinn. On the 2nd of September 2017 there is a seminar and farm visits in different parts...
