CAP on Health – The Impact of the EU Common Agricultural Policy on Public Health

There are many influences on diet, including cultural, social and economic factors. However, the most significant determinants of food choice today are price and availability. There is good evidence that the contents of the UK family shopping basket is largely influenced by CAP through the provision of financial support in the form of subsidies which favour one food group over another in terms of price and availability – most notably dairy and meat production over fruit and vegetable production. This has consequences for the average UK diet and therefore for public health.
