Samenvatting

This research aims to assess the level of alignment of the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU with the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. It does so by examining how certain CAP measures affect the SDGs in the social and environmental dimension. The research also gives suggestions for future reforms to the policy to improve its alignment with the SDGs. The research was carried out by consulting academic sources such as journal articles and books, documents from institutions including the European Commission and the UN, and reports from several think tanks and NGOs. Moreover, information was gathered by conducting three interviews.
