European Union farm policy - known as the common agricultural policy - ensures adequate European food production goes hand in hand with economically viable rural communities and action on environmental challenges such as climate change, water management, bio energy and biodiversity. Over the last two decades of the Common Agricultural Policy has been repeatedly reorganized substantially, depending on the emerging issues related to food quality and safety, the environment and territorial balance, as well as the changing economic needs of the European Union.
