The Hidden Cost of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy

Описание: The EU burns millions of tons of agricultural products every year to maintain food prices under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
While this “protects farmers,” the consequences are global: food scarcity, wasted taxpayer money, and increased poverty in other regions.

Surplus goods are often destroyed or converted into energy, and advanced production technology remains underutilized.
This rigid, controversial policy prioritizes price control over efficiency or humanitarian need.
The result is a shocking economic and ethical imbalance: farmers are shielded, but the world pays the price.
