D5.1 - Analysis of policy implementation at EU level and different European Countries and CAP strategies

The deliverable 5.1 aims at analysing the agroecology policy implementation at EU level and different European countries and CAP strategies. It has been structured in sections by analysing the agroecology policy definition based on a literature review that considers policy, but also end-users needs and research advances to fully understand the agroecology perception from different perspectives to deliver more targeted policies. The second section evaluates the role of agroecology within the European policies from a global perspective linked to strategies and the post-2020 CAP. The third section analyses how agroecology was fostered in the past considering the rules of the post-2020 CAP. Whenever relevant, the linkages with organic farming as a well stablished concept was also evaluated.

Due to the delay in delivery the CAP strategies, which will be approved in July 2022, it was not possible to provide a concrete and valid analysis of the CAP strategies at country level, which will be the basis of the next policy report to be delivered at the end of the project as the basis of EU agroecology strategy that will be adapted at country level.
