Published 30 November 2017 Over 40 billion euro is given annually to European agriculture as direct payments under the Common Agricultural Policy. Yet, the policy fails to deliver on what EU citizens are promised. This is a key message from new research by AgriFood Economics Centre and Centre for Environmental and Climate Research at Lund University. Direct payments are area-based income support u
