The Land Use Policy Group's (LUPG) Vision explores the environmental challenges we face, the interlinked concepts of food and environmental security and the multifunctional nature of Europe’s rural land use, before setting out a set of principles that the agencies believe should underpin further reform of CAP. In this 32 page document, published in March 2009, the LUPG proposes a progressive transformation of the CAP in which the emphasis is shifted away from the current focus on income support and towards a system of paying more directly for the provision of environmental services, so helping to tackle climate change as well as dealing with the challenges of water management and biodiversity loss.

The Land Use Policy Group represents the GB statutory conservation, countryside and environmental agencies.
