From the findings that emerge from both the general public as well as the main stakeholders of the agricultural sector it is clear that there is a convergence of attitudes on a number of key issues related to the sector, although the findings among the general public must be read in a context of low awareness of what the existing CAP delivers. Both groups largely agree on the importance of having a common agricultural policy which can ensure the preservation of Malta’s rural landscapes through the protection of the environment, and which also supports the agricultural sector to achieve important goals such as the provision of quality goods, high standards of animal welfare and income stability for the farming community. There was also convergence when it came to identifying the most important objectives that a future CAP should have. Both the general public and the main stakeholders identified the production of more healthy agricultural products, the sustainability of the sector, the protection of the environment, tackling the effects of agriculture on climate change and the more efficient use of water resources as being challenges of a post 2013 CAP.
