ince the launch of the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in 2015, the EU’s farmers have suffered a string of crises. The CAP’s greening measures have helped farmers maintain their revenue, but the questions of job creation and access to land have proved harder to answer. EurActiv France reports.

Europe’s farmers have suffered one crisis after another. First came the wine sector, then pork, and now dairy and cereal farmers are struggling to make ends meet. Despite emergency measures enacted by the EU, farmers’ revenues have plummeted. According to the Mutualité Agricole, a social security provider, a third of all French farmers will earn just €354 per month in 2016.
