A comparative analysis of global agricultural policies: lessons for the future CAP

This study provides a comparative analysis of global agricultural policies aimed at drawing lessons for the future of the CAP. This supports the European Parliament AGRI Committee’s analysis of the available options for the future CAP. The study aims to show how the future CAP can, in the medium to long term, learn from the level and nature of assistance to agriculture in third countries. Against the background of the main trends in agricultural support as well as recent changes and new initiatives in global agricultural policies, an in depth analysis is made of selected instruments in five countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, US).
