How can public policy support small-scale family farms

The International Year of Family Farming, launched under the auspices of the United Nations in 2014, has underscored the important role played by small agricultural holdings in « feeding the World and Europe ». 2014 was also the year when the new CAP  was implemented, coinciding with a newly elected Parliament. One year on, this is the chance for our organisation to issue a reminder about the central role that small and medium sized farms in Europe hold in building strong economies, protecting the environment and enhancing social cohesion. It is time for us all to analyse the impact of the new CAP and propose a political roadmap which protects the future of small-scale farmers, in the context of a major climate crisis. This booklet summarises documents, analyses and data from several different sources which are cited at the end of the document. It is a booklet which also takes farmers and their organisations as its source: Testimonies from small-scale farmers from different European countries are included in order to give a face to those who are often spoken about as statistics.
