Multifunctionality and CAP reform

This procedure is an own-initiative report focused on updating the Common Agricultural Policy. It examines how to better support the 'multifunctionality' of agriculture, meaning that farming should provide not only food and fiber but also environmental services and social benefits for rural communities.

The reform primarily affects farmers, agri-food businesses, and rural landowners. It aims to shift agricultural subsidies toward more sustainable practices and ensure the long-term economic viability of rural areas.
