The Commission is currently working on the next multiannual financial framework (MFF) and intends to present a proposal in July 2025.
The Commission communication on the road to the next MFF highlights the importance of food security and nature protection for sustaining Europe’s quality of life and emphasises that a Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that is fit for purpose must provide targeted support to farmers who need it most, work within planetary boundaries supporting positive environmental and social outcomes through rewards and incentives for ecosystem services and support the right enabling conditions for thriving rural areas.
It must become simpler, targeted and find the right balance between incentives, investment and regulation, and ensure that farmers have a fair and sufficient income.
The Vision for Agriculture and Food adopted on 19 February 2025[1] provides more details on how the future CAP will address the challenges and needs of the EU agrifood sector and rural areas.
