This review aims to assess the impacts of EU agri-food policies on sustainability and identify systemic weaknesses.

Conducted qualitative synthesis of 97 peer-reviewed studies focusing on environmental, social, and economic impacts.
Identified three weaknesses: compliance gaps, governance tensions, and targeting deficiencies.
Localized benefits in agri-environmental measures fail to address larger issues like nitrate pollution.
Compliance costs disproportionately affect smaller operations, while larger actors exploit regulatory complexities.
