The European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is under scrutiny for its impact on the environment.

Experts suggest redirecting these funds towards greener and less intensive farming practices. Some advocate for a shift towards plant-based diets, citing scientific recommendations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
