Background: 

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has a key role in supporting the European agricultural sector, managing the transition to sustainable food production systems and strengthening European farmers' efforts to contribute to the EU's strategies such as the Farm to Fork, Biodiversity Strategy and the Organic Action Plan. The aim of the CAPTIVATE (CAP Transfer of Information Via Assessment, Training & Extension) project funded by the EU in the Erasmus + program is to develop a farmer-centred assessment and training system by connecting the CAP requirements with proven, innovative, sustainable eco-management practices. The project results are therefore intended to help farmers gain a better insight into and improved understanding of agri-environment measures, conditionality and eco-schemes. For the farmers it is essential to know how such measures work, production may be influenced and what benefits (not only support) they can expect from their application. Consequently, they should really be convinced to introduce and maintain suitable methods in their production practice. 

Objective: The project aims to develop a farmer-centred assessment and training system to better connect the new CAP requirements with proven and innovative good eco-management practices, in favour of improved implementation of the various measures, increased uptake of support, improved efficiency in production and protection of the natural environment. 

Questions for the discussion: The project and its results were piloted in the project countries Hungary, Croatia and Slovakia, but have a holistic EU approach due to the CAP as a central point. This means that the findings and results can be effectively spread to other EU countries. Can tools/platforms such as those developed in CAPTIVATE help to support EU farms towards sustainable development on the one hand and to add practical value to the increased requirements for farms to record, evaluate and document their performance on the other?
