This policy brief examines why the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is not effectively supporting reductions in antibiotic use in food-producing animals, despite its central role in shaping European farming systems. It explores the relationship between antimicrobial use in agriculture and public health, analyses the limitations of current CAP Strategic Plans, and highlights examples of national approaches across the EU.
