Common Agricultural Policy

Hi there! Do you know what farming is? It's when people grow plants or raise animals to sell or use for food. Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is like a set of rules that European Union countries follow to help farmers grow food and take care of the environment.

So, let's imagine that you are a farmer who likes to grow tomatoes. CAP gives you some money to help you grow more tomatoes and sell them at a fair price. This money helps you grow enough tomatoes to feed people and make some extra money for yourself.

Now, let's say you want to grow your tomatoes without using any chemicals that can harm the environment. CAP also helps you with that. You can get some extra money for following good environmental practices and taking care of the land you are farming on.

CAP tries to help farmers grow enough food for everyone without harming the environment. It also helps make sure that people who live in European Union countries have access to healthy, fresh and affordable food. Isn't that cool?
