In 2050 the world will need to feed 9 billion hungry mouths. MEPs think a reformed CAP is a valid European answer, but what exactly will it look like?

Delivering on nutrition challenges

Will we be able to feed   9 billion people in 2050?

Most MEPs consider the CAP   essential to meeting this challenge,

I am confident that this House   will back the reforms.

Modernising the CAP,   setting it on a new course

to deliver on the new challenges   of the 21st century.

Georges Kuntz owns a small vegetable   and cereal farm of 35 hectares.

So that he’s not totally reliant on CAP,

he raises chickens and produces   foie gras - not subsidised by it.

I think that with new working methods,   hiring new workers and new technology,

to feed the men and women   of this planet.

Today the CAP represents   40% of the EU budget.

The sector employs   over 14 million Europeans.

that will continue to privilege   Europe’s self-sufficiency in food

with high standards for   both the environment and for health.

We don’t want agriculture   which uses genetic engineering.

An adapted agriculture,   green agriculture,

not necessarily ecological,   but heading in that direction.

Ahead of EU countries' negotiations   about the future of the CAP,

MEPs want to create a framework   for the debate. The next step?

This autumn the Commission   joins the fray

when it presents its project   for reforming the CAP.
