3/3 - How EU Farm Subsidies Shape Regenerative Agriculture [ARIANE LOTTI]
Description
What role does policy play in shaping the future of farming? 🔖
In this third part, we shift focus from the fields to the political arena, exploring how the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) influences farmers’ ability to transition toward regenerative agriculture.
Drawing on her background in agricultural policy and her experience as a farmer, Ariane Lotti explains the paradox of subsidies: they can help, but they can also hinder. While the CAP was designed to support food production, it has too often pushed farmers toward dependency on machinery and industrial models, driving people off the land and making regeneration harder.
Ariane reveals:
Why EU subsidies can both save and sabotage farmers
How policy must change to support soil health and biodiversity
What a fairer and more resilient food system could look like
This episode takes us beyond the farm gate, into the structures that determine whether regenerative agriculture can truly scale.
