CAP Indicators
The Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF) for the CAP 2014-2020 identifies a set of performance indicators in four categories:
context, output, result, and impact. The indicators are combined with further information (such as on trade and quality schemes) into 13 thematic presentations at EU and Member States level.
Context indicators provide information on agricultural and rural statistics as well as general economic and environmental trends.
Some of this information drills down to regional level (NUTS 2-3).
Jobs and Growth in Rural Areas
GDP, incomes, employment in agriculture and poverty rates in rural areas.
Adding Value
Focus on the value added in agriculture including EU quality schemes and producer organisations.
Productivity
Indicators describing agricultural productivity, with an emphasis on rural development support.
Environment and Climate Action
Summary of EU expenditures devoted to environment and main land use indicators.
Climate Change and Air Quality
GHG and ammonia emissions from agriculture and CAP measures contribution to climate action.
Water Quality and Availability
Pressures on water (quality and quantity) and CAP contribution to improved water management.
Food and Health Quality Protection
Indicators on plant protection products, antimicrobials and animal welfare.
