• Prepare 4 to 5 questions about food and farming that make sense to you and that you really want to have answered. Click here to learn about the CAP reform and the main issues at play.
  
  
• If you want to film or record your meeting you will need to get your MEP’s approval. Once you have a set date simply drop the question. If he or she is fine with it call a friend who can work a film camera and ask him/her to come along. If that’s not possible, consider recording the meeting. If that is not possible, consider writing a report/article that summarizes your conversation. Click here to access Go M.A.D. experiences that were submitted so far.
  
  
• If you have good connections to your local press consider taking along a journalist to cover your Go M.A.D. meeting and experience!
  
  
• Why not print your CAP photo message and take it along as a present for your MEP … Your message is a great way to start off a conversation!
