Abstract

Exuberant expectations about what EU agriculture can and should deliver in policy areas beyond its scope often contrast sharply with both farm realities and contradictions in the behaviour of individuals as citizens and consumers. This has polarised the CAP policy debate, and erroneously pushes for a choice between prioritising either climate action or food security. Recent developments, including the war in Ukraine, added to concerns about uncertain and volatile future price prospects. Food price prospects and population growth impacts are pivotal in the debate about food security as higher food costs, prospects for higher energy costs driven by the green transition and increasing income inequalities put households in both developed and the developing world at risk with respect to food affordability. Adding trends of global population growth, especially in Africa, creates a clear challenge of availability in certain products and regions. The EU's underestimated and misunderstood record of producing more with less could help EU agriculture to positively contribute to addressing both food security and climate change. However, further improving its performance requires re‐opening the debate in three priority areas where the EU must come clear on its stance and future contribution – productivity, science and trade.

共同农业政策辩论的全球层面:进退两难
对欧盟农业在其范围之外的政策领域能够和应该提供什么的过高期望,往往与农业现实以及作为公民和消费者的个人行为中的矛盾形成鲜明对比。这使CAP政策辩论两极分化,并错误地推动在优先考虑气候行动或粮食安全之间做出选择。最近的事态发展,包括乌克兰战争,加剧了人们对未来价格前景不确定和动荡的担忧。粮食价格前景和人口增长影响在关于粮食安全的辩论中至关重要,因为粮食成本上升、绿色转型带来的能源成本上升前景以及收入不平等加剧,使发达国家和发展中国家的家庭在粮食负担能力方面面临风险。加上全球人口增长的趋势,特别是在非洲,对某些产品和地区的供应提出了明显的挑战。欧盟低估和误解了以少胜多的记录,这可能有助于欧盟农业为应对粮食安全和气候变化做出积极贡献。然而,进一步提高其表现需要在三个优先领域重新展开辩论,欧盟必须明确其立场和未来贡献——生产力、科学和贸易。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
