While EU gets back down to work on CAP, in order to define the major post 2020 improvements, this position paper discusses the main challenges CAP reform has to deal with and presents a general framework with innovation as a key lever in order to better achieve the economic, environmental and social goals of this policy.

Then the crutial role of innovation is highlighted including in CAP tools.
