CAP and the digital divide

date:  21/11/2016

A new infographic by the online publication EurActiv presents details on the internet connectivity of some of Europe’s rural and isolated farming areas.

The infographic draws comparisons between European urban and rural areas, as well as between EU Member States in terms of access to internet. Finally, it maps out EU tools to finance broadband and ICT projects in rural areas by 2020 - one of the strategic objectives of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), 2014-2020.
