The research will summarise the policy context of the post-Brexit Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), highlight gaps in provision (particularly around increasing access to land for agroecology), and showcase examples for addressing these gaps, which could be of interest in the UK and wider EU context.

This research will support Access to Land Network members to emphasise the importance of access to land issues as part of national-level CAP debates, by giving examples of how this is (or isn’t) happening in the UK post-Brexit, and the implications this has on land use.

We will also become members of the Network’s CAP Working Group for the duration of the project, and will aim to work closely with relevant campaigning organisations in the UK (such as Sustain) to enable them to use this research to strengthen advocacy efforts for a comprehensive post-CAP subsidy regime which supports agroecological farming.
