LINK supports a significant shift in CAP support away from poorly targeted direct support towards more specific and targeted payments designed to deliver public goods. Subsidising food production in Europe through the CAP will not achieve global food security. However, by redirecting the CAP to support the production of public goods and improving the environmental sustainability of our food production systems, we can maintain our long term food security.
