CAP Strategic Plans encourage the transition towards a smart, sustainable, competitive, resilient and diversified agricultural sector, while ensuring long-term food security.
They also contribute to climate action, the protection of natural resources, the preservation and enhancement of biodiversity, as well as strengthen the socio-economic fabric of rural areas.

Background
Role of CAP Strategic Plans
EU countries implement the CAP 2023-27 with a CAP Strategic Plan at national level. Each Plan combines a wide range of targeted interventions addressing the specific needs of that EU country and deliver tangible results in relation to EU-level objectives, while contributing to the ambitions of the European Green Deal.
During the approval process, the Commission assessed whether the EU countries’ CAP Strategic Plans contribute to, and are consistent with, EU legislation and commitments in relation to climate and the environment, including those laid out in the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity strategies.
The Commission supported EU countries throughout the preparation of their CAP Strategic Plan so that:
- EU countries take full advantage of the CAP 2023-27 and its instruments to support their farmers in the transition towards increased sustainability in our food systems.
- Each CAP Strategic Plan includes an intervention strategy explaining how each EU country will use CAP instruments to achieve the CAP objectives, in keeping with the Green Deal ambitions.
