The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union has evolved over 60 years to adapt to changing economic and societal needs. The focus has shifted from traditional market support to more sophisticated interventions, including income generation, environmental protection, and rural development. This shift reflects a changing view on the role of the food sector in the EU's economic development. The CAP is now more aligned with macroeconomic conditions and societal expectations, aiming to support sustainable agriculture in EU countries.
