Resumen del contexto y de los objetivos generales del proyecto

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the European Union's flagship policy for supporting the agricultural sector, ensuring food security, and safeguarding rural development. The CAP is also a key tool for reaching EU’s sustainability objectives, as set out in the European Green Deal and associated policies, and in DG AGRI’s Vision for Agriculture and Food, in which Commissioner Hansen indicates how the agricultural sector can be made future-proof (i.e. attractive, competitive, resilient and sustainable). With these policy strategies, the EU aims for more sustainable food systems. Effectively supporting the policy impact assessment in this new context is a great challenge for the existing quantitative modelling tools as it requires them to substantially enhance the thematic coverage to comprehensively address all the components of the European Green Deal and ensure consistency with the monitoring systems in place. ACT4CAP27 responses to this challenge by enhancing the analytical capacity of the key policy tools (CAPRI,GLOBIOM,MAGNET,AGMEMOD) used by the European Commission to assess short-term and long-term policy impacts on EU’s agri-food systems and providing evidence-based knowledge supporting analysis for the design of agri-food policies post 2027.

Trabajo realizado desde el comienzo del proyecto hasta el final del período abarcado por el informe y los principales resultados hasta la fecha

The work carried out in the first 18 months focused on developing an analytical framework to assess the impact of policy on the sustainability of the EU food system. In addition, the databases used for the project's models were expanded. Additional data and socio-economic and environmental indicators will provide better insight into the consequences of (future) agricultural and agriculture-related policies for the agrifood sector. Modifications to model structures have begun to simulate, among other things, the impact of changes in input use, consumer preferences, and conditionality for direct income payments. An infrastructure has been built to enable the exchange of data and results between models (ACT4CAP27 Portal). Uptake and capacity building are key components of the project. Various training sessions for modelers have been held, and exchanges of young researchers have begun. Interaction with stakeholders (including the EC) is a fundamental prerequisite for a project to be policy-relevant. Two major stakeholder meetings were held in RP1, and the ACT4CAP27 project was discussed on numerous occasions in meetings with the EC and in national meetings organized or attended by project partners.

Avances que van más allá del estado de la técnica e impacto potencial esperado (incluida la repercusión socioeconómica y las implicaciones sociales más amplias del proyecto hasta la fecha)

Not applicable yet. Results in terms of model innovations and policy evaluation (scenario simulations) will be delivered in RP2 and subsequent periods.
