Christian Organisations' Vision for the Future EU Common Agricultural Policy
Christian organisations present their vision for the future EU Common Agricultural Policy
The Catholic Church in the European Union has shared its perspective on the upcoming reforms of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. In this document, they outline their goals and aspirations for the policy's direction, emphasizing the importance of sustainability, fairness, and environmental stewardship.
"The future of European agriculture must be rooted in a tapestry of values that balance economic viability, social justice, and ecological integrity."
They advocate for a policy that supports small-scale and family farms, promotes environmental conservation, and ensures fair wages and working conditions for agricultural workers. The Catholic Church also highlights the need for a policy that addresses the impact of climate change and encourages innovative and sustainable farming practices.
In summary, Christian organisations strive for a Common Agricultural Policy that:
- Promotes environmental sustainability
- Empowers small-scale farmers
- Ensures fair treatment of agricultural workers
- Adapts to climate change
- Fosters innovation
