(...) 6. Under the "Farm to Fork" chapter of the Communication, it is underlined that European farmers are key to managing the transition.
The Farm to Fork Strategy should strengthen their efforts to tackle climate change, protect the environment and preserve biodiversity.
The CAP should remain one of the key tools to support these efforts while ensuring a decent living for farmers and their families. The Commission's proposals for the CAP for 2021 to 2027 stipulate that at least 40% of the CAP’s overall budget should contribute to climate action.

Furthermore, according to the Communication, measures such as eco-schemes should reward farmers for improved environmental and climate performance, including managing and storing carbon in the soil, using alternative plant protection products and improved nutrient management to improve water quality and reduce emissions.
