European Discussion Questions
1) What do you think would be most significant impact would be on France if there were a reduction in the budget for the CAP?

2) Being the EU leader in dairy and cattle production, how have privatized and organic French farms been impacted by COVID-19?

3) The 2021-2027 EU Multiannual Financial Framework currently allocates most of its budget towards cohesion and values. Do you think that this is appropriate, and why? If not, explain which policy area should be considered more important.

4) If you were a member of the US Congress representing a rural, agricultural region, how would you engage other policymakers to take interest in supporting agricultural efforts and subsidies? Based on the set up of the EU CAP and the US Farm Bill, how would your efforts be different (if at all) if you were in congress in a European country instead?
