Post-2027 CAP must focus on 'food security and price stability'

Mr Varadkar stressed that it should not be forgotten "why the CAP was created in the first place".

While it's not possible to know what the new CAP will look like after 2027, the Taoiseach said, "we can be absolutely certain that there will be a focus on climate and the environment". Picture: Gareth Chaney / Collins Photos

The next Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), post-2027, must have a focus on food security and price stability, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.

He told farmers at the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association AGM on Friday that he believes these are "two things we take a little bit for granted in Europe at the moment".
