On this page you can find information about support for farmers and rural stakeholders under the CAP in Belgium.

Support for farmers and rural stakeholders under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in Belgium is managed in the 2023-2027 period through two CAP Strategic Plans (CSPs): one for Flanders and one for Wallonia, both funded under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and national contributions.

The Walloon CAP network is run by a consortium of 3 partners:

Tr@me, coordinator and contact point for the consortium, in charge of networking and mobilizing stakeholders with an emphasis on collective intelligence and co-construction.

Socopro is in charge of the development and structuring of agricultural sectors, the challenges of sustainable food, the challenges of agricultural markets and producers' position within value chains.

Natagriwal is in charge of issues like biodiversity in rural areas, agricultural and forestry issues, and practices respectful of the environment, particularly through eco-schemes of the CAP's first pillar and numerous interventions of the second pillar (MAEC, Natura 2000, etc.).
