Resource description:
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) plays a pivotal role not only in shaping Europe’s agricultural landscape but also in safeguarding broader environmental quality and societal well-being. At the same time, food production and rural economies depend fundamentally on healthy water systems.
This Policy Working Paper illustrates how water restoration can be embedded in future agricultural policies to enhance water resilience. It draws on research funded by MERLIN and Scottish Government Strategic Research Programme (KJHI-3-1 Land Use Transformations).
