Repurposing EU Subsides for an Effective Agrifood System Transition to Net Zero

Agriculture is a significant player in the climate change equation, responsible for 11% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. While it also faces the brunt of climate impacts, such as droughts and floods, it holds great potential for driving the transition to a net-zero economy. 

This policy paper highlights how the EU agricultural sector can better contribute to climate goals.

It discusses the need for more ambitious policies and a clear definition of sustainable activities in the EU Taxonomy to guide the sector’s transition.
