BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union negotiators will seek a deal on Thursday to make the bloc's huge farming subsidies greener, after disagreements on rules to curb agriculture's climate impact upended talks last month.

Talks to reform the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) have dragged on for nearly three years, with negotiators still split over how to spend the CAP's 387 billion euro ($462 billion)budget of payments to farmers and support for rural development, about a third of the EU's total 2021-2027 budget.
