John Palmer

A europolicywonk called John Palmer is congratulating the EU on reforming the Common Agricultural Policy in order to boost food production.

Although governments have been reluctant to talk publicly about the looming crisis of food inflation and outright food shortages, the European commission has proved quick to make drastic changes in the management of the common agricultural policy (CAP).

It does strike me as a bit sad that when the EU fails to act like a bunch of drunken imbeciles, it's presented as a policy triumph.
