The CAP implementation in Wallonia-today performance and questions for the future. A brief supplementary comment from Warmia and Mazury perspective

peer reviewedThe new Common Agricultural Policy was defined in 2013, with a stronger emphasize on the environment and the introduction of the “green payment”, as well as a clear support for organic farming. This paper examines how the green payment was implemented for the first time in Wallonia (South of Belgium, one of the founders of the European Union) and shows the situation in both Wallonia and the Warmia and Mazury voivodeship in Poland, a new EU Member State. It appears that agriculture in both regions is on the way towards a more sustainable development model, though the future is more uncertain than ever
