Seminar "Agricultural policy for the environment or environmental policy for agriculture?"

• the 172nd EAAE Seminar "Agricultural policy for the environment or environmental policy for agriculture?" will be held on 28-29 May 2019 in Brussels. The seminar's leading topic is the policy and research implications of enhancing the environmental and climate ambition of the EU farming sector, one of the centrepieces of the latest European Commission's proposal for the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

The seminar is jointly organised by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC Seville) and DG AGRI. The seminar aims at bringing together researchers and policy makers to take a fresh look at the economics-policy nexus of agriculture and the environment in the context of the CAP post-2020. The focus will be on analysing the policy design and impact of agro-environmental and climate-friendly practices. With a strong emphasis on policy application, the seminar intents to provide a platform to foster direct discussions between academia and policy makers to identify areas of policy action and further research needs.
