Presentation on the Reform of EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP2020) – towards a sustainable food policy

(26.06.2012) 

At a webinar of the Revaluing Public Sector Food Procurement COP in June 2012,  a talk on the CAP reform, ‘Reform of EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP2020) – towards a sustainable food policy?’ was presented by Robert Pederson of EPHAC (European Public Health Agriculture Consortium).

The presentation provides a short introduction to the CAP and discusses perceptions of 'local' food in Europe. It poses thought-provoking questions about how local markets and short food supply chains are included in the priorities for CAP 2020. It concludes with a summary of the next steps for the Commission in the process and EPHAC's own position on local/regional food systems.
