In February 2025, the European Commission unveiled their Vision for Agriculture and Food. The vision pledged to recentre farmers and rebuild trust across the supply chain. The current European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, will serve until 2029 and has a clear runway for implementation. But given the recent uncertainty, controversy and stop-start nature of food and ag policy, can we finally align and reach consensus?
In this session, we’ll take a reality check from farm to fork. Our panellists will discuss and debate:
• Progress update: How far is the EC’s long-term vision translating to real world impact now?
• Bridging the gap: What needs to change to ensure a more robust, resilient and competitive European market for food production?
• Incentives, investment and regulation: How we can better align to strengthen resilience from farm to fork
• On-the-ground realities: How are current policies sustaining farmer livelihoods and encouraging the next generation?
What to expect from this type of session...
Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
