Special Eurobarometer 410: Europeans, Agriculture and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP)

Description

European public opinion regarding European agriculture and the Common Agricultural Policy seems supportive of the main objectives adopted in the CAP reform of November 2013: - Europeans agree that agriculture and rural areas are very important for the future; -They think it is legitimate to continue to devote a significant share of the European budget to agriculture and rural development; - This legitimacy is based on the fact that EU citizens believe they indirectly profit from this financial aid, primarily via the supply of a diversity of quality food products, but also through environmental protection; - They also strongly believe that society as a whole benefits from this aid and they attribute a growing role to agriculture and farmers in the maintenance of economic activity and employment in rural areas; - However, the survey also reveals a lack of public awareness about agriculture, as for example, Europeans continue to believe that the United States produces more agricultural products than the EU. The Special Eurobarometer 410 addresses several areas: - The relationship between Europeans and agriculture within the European Union: what importance do they attach to agriculture, its diversity and rural development? What is their objective knowledge of agriculture? - The relationship between Europeans and the CAP: what do they know about it? How do they get information about it? What is their opinion of the CAP’s principal features? - EU public opinion of the financial aid provided to farmers and the proportion of the European Union budget that this support represents; - European public opinion about the role that farmers play in society; - The information that EU consumers have about the origin of certain food products, and their willingness to pay more in order to access this information; - The recognition of quality logos and labels among EU consumers. #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
