The Midlands MEP wants the next CAP agreement to be more flexible.
A midlands MEP wants the European Union to develop a more nuanced approach to member States' land-use ahead of the next CAP agreement.
Fianna Fail rep Barry Cowen wants to see an end to the GAEC policy that puts restrictions on certain agri-practices on peatlands.
They include burning, plowing, drainage, and other activities that could impact carbon storage.
The next Common Agricultural Policy will be developed after 2027.
Mr Cowen says a one size fits all approach is an existential threat to Irish farmers:
