Funding opportunities under the Common Agricultural Policy

Direct payments support farmers' incomes without being linked to production in return for them respecting standards of environmental protection, animal welfare, food safety and keeping the land in good condition. Rural Development funding helps to improve competitiveness for farming and forestry, to protect the environment and the countryside, to improve the quality of life and diversification of the rural economy and to support locally based approaches to rural development.
