RPA is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs.

Our policies

  1. Reforming the Common Agricultural Policy to ensure a fair deal for farmers, consumers and taxpayers

    How the EU's Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) is being reformed after 2013 to improve and simplify it, and reduce reliance on subsidies.

  2. Making the food and farming industry more competitive while protecting the environment

    How the government is responding to the growing population's demand for food, while minimising the impacts of farming and food production on the environment.
