The AWP enables interested individuals and stakeholders to get insights about ongoing projects and gain a deeper understanding of the plans for the current year (July to July).

It includes valuable information regarding our governance bodies, our thematic work, our editorial offer and upcoming events. The AWP also includes all the details for being an active part of the network.

We invite you to browse through our Annual Work Programme for 2024-2025 to discover how the European CAP Network is advancing sustainable agriculture and rural development within the EU.
