Our Policy Insights publications series now includes coverage of rural well-being issues, including farm safety and mental health.
Good health is vital to the roles that agricultural workers play in sustaining our food supplies, caring for our environment and safeguarding the social fabric of rural communities. Coordinated support by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and other EU policies can help improve the overall well-being of our agricultural workforce, as well as the wider rural population.
Member States’ CAP Strategic Plans (CSPs) can play a role here, with financing for modernisation actions that facilitate or fund increased safety in the agri-food sector and reduce rural health risks. In addition, CSP assistance is available for rural development via thousands of LEADER Local Action Groups and Smart Village projects which can attract CSP funding for other rural citizens who are not involved in agriculture.
