European agriculture ministers have reached an agreement on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2027. Flanders and Wallonia support the proposal, which aims to benefit young farmers, investments, sustainability, and reduce administrative burdens.

Key elements of the agreement include more targeted support for active, young, and small farmers. Measures for the environment and climate, as well as better protection against crises and extreme weather conditions, are also included. Rural development, innovation, and digitalization will continue to be supported.
For Flanders, a sufficiently large European agricultural budget is crucial. Minister Brouns emphasizes that greater ambitions for agriculture cannot be met with fewer resources. Negotiations with the European Parliament and the European Commission on the final CAP post-2027 will now continue.
