A CAP to bring nature back to our farms

In the EU, agriculture is the single largest driver of biodiversity loss. But many farmers are demonstrating that it is possible to farm in harmony with nature while producing plenty of food and making decent livelihoods.

This is one of three briefings from the EEB detailing how the CAP can made to work for people and nature. Read the others in our library:
