The EU's Common Agricultural Policy has been trying to make farming more environmentally friendly since the 1980s. They have added conditions to payments and offered voluntary programs to help farmers go green. In 2013, they wanted to make a new payment for farmers who follow eco-friendly practices, but it didn't go as planned. The changes to the policy were not as ambitious as hoped, and there are different ideas on how to make farming more sustainable. Some think following rules is enough, while others believe voluntary programs are better.
