However, this &#8220;Common Agricultural Policy&#8221; (CAP) has not paid off for most farmers, public budgets, or, least of all, for the climate and ecosystems. With its mix of subsidies and bureaucratic requirements, the CAP has failed. A new approach is needed.   <\/p><p>How can a market-oriented, climate-friendly, and sustainable agricultural policy be designed in a socially fair way? What opportunities do environmental levies and emissions trading offer? Which compensatory measures will ensure the global competitiveness of farmers?  <\/p><p>The study &#8220;Options for Implementing the Polluter Pays Principle in Agriculture: A New Approach for the EU&#8217;s Common Agricultural Policy&#8221; offers concrete proposals for these questions. The study by the Austrian Institute of Economic Research was commissioned by the organization <strong>nature solidarity<\/strong>.  <\/p><p>We look forward to your participation, whether in person on-site or via the hybrid press conference for the presentation of the study.<\/p><p>You will receive the link for online participation after registering via email to <br><a href=\"mailto:bermejo@betternau.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bermejo@betternau.de<\/a>.<\/p><h4>Contact<\/h4><p>better nau communications agency<br>Anabel Bermejo <br><a href=\"mailto:bermejo@betternau.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bermejo@betternau.de<\/a> <br>tel +49 (0)172 5870087<\/p><p><strong>nature solidarity e.V.<\/strong> is a non-profit organization fighting for healthy nature through biodiversity and stable ecosystems, as well as healthy livestock throughout the EU agricultural sector.
