Two of the main challenges underlying the current CAP reform are 'greening' the agriculture sector (reducing environmental impacts) and viable food production with a view to ensure food security. To address these challenges, the European Environment Agency invited a panel of external experts to reflect on these challenges and to explore long-term intervention strategies in the context of the EEA’s ‘Green CAP project’.

Apart from the expert panel outcomes, the project has built on analyses by EEA and JRC (in particular the FATE project , SOER 2010 and HNV farmland analyses, a discussion paper for the EEA Management Board, and a background study by the Stockholm Environment Institute.
