Abstract
The successive reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy have been building and rebuilding
a house which requires today a complete rethought and a reconstitution on new
basis. We argue that today agricultural policies must give way to food and land policies.
At European level, we proposed three pillars for a new Food and Territorial Common
Policy (FOTERCOP). They will not be characterized by their financing as today (100 %
Eu or cofinancing) but on their own characteristics: multiannual measures first; annual
measures second; last but not least market management and food chain. 50 % of the
funds could be invest for financing the necessary ecological transition.
This will also require a new political, social and administrative logic and break the
straitjacket of the current EU budgetary rules
