Introduction: The CAP plays a pivotal role in shaping agricultural livelihoods, environmental sustainability, and rural development within the European Union (EU). Effective policy formulation requires robust data and analysis. This policy brief highlights strategies to enhance data utilization for CAP analysis, fostering informed decision-making and achieving policy objectives.
Key Strategies:
- Framework for Disaggregated Data: The European Commission should establish a framework for utilizing disaggregated data from Member States. This framework will enable more granular analysis, capturing critical elements such as environmental practices and off-farm income, essential for informed policy-making.
- Development of Data Sources: Prioritize the development of data sources tailored to meet CAP policy needs. Embrace innovative technologies and methodologies, including big data analytics, to enhance data collection, aggregation, and analysis capabilities.
- Promotion of Data Standardization: Advocate for data standardization across Member States to streamline data collection processes and ensure consistency and interoperability. Standardized data formats facilitate data sharing, comparability, and usability, empowering stakeholders to make evidence-based decisions.
