How to Finance the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union?

How can the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union (EU) be financed in the future? Should spending be reduced? Should there be more co- financing by member states? Or should the CAP undergo a redesign towards a more federal model with a stronger emphasis on rural development? This book will discuss two topics: Firstly, how the CAP needs to change in order to be financially feasible, and secondly how the CAP needs to be modified in order to help farmers restructure their businesses.
