Reforming the Common Agricultural Policy
Vložit

- Into Europe: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is one of the very first European to have been enacted to support a struggling agriculture sector in the 1960s.
Since then the policy has been in a constant state of reform, and the latest package was approved by the European Parliament in October 2020. While progress has been made, the reform package left environmentalists upset over the watered-down green aspects including eco-schemes, which have been delayed until 2025, and fairer distribution systems.
What is the CAP, how did it get to where it is today, and what happened to the latest reform package?

Decent video, although I would call into question the EU survey on the CAP. How many citizens actually understand the CAP and its intricacies. I'm a catchment scientist and I don't understand its more nuanced points, so I'm fairly sure Joe and Josie Soap in the street doesnt!
Actually the surveys are not about the polcies themselves, but the support people have to them. People don't understand policy as much as have an idea of wether or not they like it.
If EU citizens like supporting the farmers, the farmers can use that to pressure the EU, and thus the CAP stays. This is particularly true for most of the things the EU does since they're usually at a higher policy level that doesn't affect every day life.
In the age of rampant populism Joe and Josie definitely do know best themselves. Who needs experts when you can think about it for half a minute and know everything.
Just goes to show that no matter how well-intentioned a policy is, if there are opportunities to manipulate it for financial gain, people will, no matter their class.
Nice video ! But I still don't understand why activists protest against this CAP change, is it because it is unsufficent? Some even say it "fuels ecological destruction"
It should all be free market, Australia has never subsidised our farmers and we are an export powerhouse now through free market efficiency
Australia has a freaking flood plain the size of half the EU, near the equator and virtually devoid of people. Irrigate it and you have some of the best farmland in the world. Europe is a continent roughly as northern as Quebec, full of mountains and with high population density.
The thing is Europe has terrible farmland, we're just very good at making the most out of it.
Europe doesn't do free market
Agriculture sector is a sticking point in trade talks between the EU and Aus
@@vinniechan Yea the EU does NOT like free trade, they closed down all the freeports etc as well. Since leaving the EU, the UK is planning to re-open a freeport, which will really shake things up if it happens.
Great video! Do you have the source of 2:21 graph?
Thanks for producing a nice and informative video. It was interesting to see the graph comparing land use and farming output.
I think the program should be reformed, so that it instead becomes a fixed interest-rate adjusted per-person stipend paid out to farmers who output a minimum amount of produce (in order to separate hobby farmers from full-time farmers). Then other stipends/loans could be given through agricultural banks to support widespread tackling of animal welfare and climate change.
Just discovered the channel, great videos with very good analyses, thanks!
Amazing video! Very clear, concise and extremely helpful for my own research regarding this topic. Thank you very much!
still guessing if the narrator is german or french. on one hand he often pronounces names with a french accent on the other he shows german news pages as sources
It sounds like a Dutch accent to me
Helping me pass school thank you for this
Love the vid!
Thank you! :)
The UK came up with a much more environmentally friendly one after leaving the UK. The government pays subsidies to famers for leaving areas of land to grow wild. Just a couple of years on I can already see the difference, much more natural meadows etc
Really?? They pay them money just to stop farming, for the delight of environmentalists ? Damn those hippies
Maravilloso
Abolish CAP.
Obedience to God will bring changes we all need. I implore you, seek, listen to His every word and obey it all. Then watch Him show up moving with changes.
Choose to believe God and see why it's a great decision.
For everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, that He is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere, sickness and death, tyranny and over ruling by government?… People ask where is God and His faithfulness, and His love … in all this evil of the world, where is God and why is evil going on and getting worse?
God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕
Do you believe in Yeshua as the son of God who died and rose 3 days later? If yes you are saved, receiving eternal life in heaven. If no, call upon Him and believe believe because if you don't choose to believe while alive you will spend eternity in hell, agony. Choose to believe and then seek Him to know Him from scripture. We are each supposed to seek Him, know Him and obey Him. We are Responsible for that each day.
Seriously ponder God, believe for salvation and obedience because He is faithful in every way to His word, blessings and curses, healings and deliverance, peace and patience, love and joy. also all the fruit of the spirit, from being in His presence. ❤️
Censorship is against the constitution of the united states, it is illegal to suppress freedom of speech.. God will move because of this law breaking too. You should stop breaking the law, repenting and obey His every word, in Yeshua's name 💕🙏
The CAP was bad in the 60s too, the money that comes from taxes which goes to the farmers then can't be spent on whatever those taxpayers wanted to buy instead, which reduces welfare.
Food security matters especially to people who experienced food shortages, which was the case in the 60s. You just can not live without food. So making sure it is available is important to every country. You can stop exports, but can not always rely on imports.
Then you create local jobs, which means money stays within Europe. With 20% of the workforce employed in agriculture, that is basicly wellfare.
@@MrMakabar This is the error of protectionism which Economics has long since been awware of. It protects inefficient jobs while costing more jobs elsewhere, its just those uncreated jobs are invisible and they don't have a lobby group like farmers. If we want to give welfare to those deplaced by increasing efficiency then we should, you knoww, give welfare. Its cheaper and more efficient.
As for food security, if all our food was coming from China or Russia then there might be a point but if our food is coming from North and South America then there's no problem.
@@mickmickymick6927 First of all I was talking about the 60s. With the Cold War the blockade of Berlin and the recent food shortages, even importing food from the Americas or Australia would have been a problem for the security of Europe. Just imagen a Soviet naval blockade. The US was able to enforce one on Cuba, so a Soviet one against Europe, would have been possible. For certain policies economics just do not matter that much, food security can be one of them.
As for prottectionism. Well the EUs subsidies are at about the worlds average today. Which makes it not a protectionist meassure, but just makes sure it is a fair market for EU agricultural produce. Of cause it is not fully efficent, but still better.
@@MrMakabarGood points, though, I'm pretty sure that the Soviet Navy was never as strong as it looked (though being able to access ports in the Warsaw Pact may have helped)
pour l'algorithme
That Viola lady was so racist towards Eastern Europeans.
Thank you for your support, but as a Romanian, I have to agree with her. Our incompetent corrupt leaders will accept bribes form abusive farmers. The EU shouldn't allow subsidies without proper governance. I know Romania is not the worst in the bunch, but the EU has to stop funding corruption
Calling out the ineffectiveness of eastern european governments isn't racist-
