A CAP on health: a report by the Faculty of Public Health

The Faculty of Public Health published in march 2007 a report on the impact of the EU common agricultural Policy on public health, titled “A CAP on health?”.

The current obesity epidemic has put in the limelight the importance of diet on our health. The most significant determinant of food choice are price and availability. These two factors are partly regulated by the EU Common Agricultural Policy.

A new report issued by the Faculty of Public Health shows the consequences on the average UK diet and on public health of the CAP. The report also proposes reflections for the debate that has started given that the CAP reform will take place during 2008.
