    The CAP is up for a mid-term review of the 2014-2020 policy regime as people are preparing for the next ‘reform’. One of the reasons why the debate is re-opening now is that the challenges facing agriculture after 2020 have evolved since the 2013 reform. In 2016, two major political events made the debate more urgent. The Paris Agreement on climate change set ambitious climate goals, which might be incompatible with industrial farming; while Brexit triggered implications for food and agriculture in the UK and beyond.
