ESTIMO E POLITICA AGRICOLA EUROPEA

Module Common Agricultural and Fisheries policies

The course covers the European Common Agricultural (CAP) and Fisheries Policy (CFP) highlighting its role in the project of European integration. The evolution of the CAP and CFP is presented from an analytical perspective that enables the evaluation of its goals and instruments and how it operates, with reference to the regulation of the market for agricultural and fishery products and coastal and rural land development. It also aims to provide students with a framework of regulatory and institutional knowledge of the CAP and CFP adequate to understand the programming process and governance of these policies.

At the end of the course, the student will be able to carry out business consulting and planning activities using European funds.

As a guarantee of equal opportunities and in compliance with current laws, interested students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and/or dispensatory measures, based on their specific needs and on teaching objectives of the discipline.
To receive more details on the matter, the Department's CInAP (Center for Active and Participatory Inclusion - Disability and/or DSA Services) contact person can also be contacted.
