00:00:00 - 00:00:00

The European Union Council, in a YouTube video titled "Conselho Europeu dá 'luz verde' a nova Política Agrícola Comum" (European Council Gives "Green Light" to New Common Agricultural Policy), approved reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Community. The new framework offers more flexibility to member states and provides funds for both larger and smaller farmers. However, critics raise concerns about ecology, climate change, and food security, as well as the possible favoritism towards wealthy farmers over small and new ones. The reform aims to give states greater freedom, allowing them to permit certain actions without restrictions, and providing funds to both large corporations and smaller and medium-sized farmers. While some hail the reform for its flexibility, critics suggest it does not adequately support newer farmers, perpetuating existing trends of favoring the rich. The new CAP reform is set to take effect in January 2023.
