Forum for the Future of Agriculture - 2024 Regional Event Poland
Throughout the year, the Forum for the Future of Agriculture organises regional conferences and online events to discuss agriculture and the environment at a national level across Europe. The upcoming event, co-organized by Polska Federacja Rolna, will take place at Centrum Prasowe Foksal. The event will address several key topics, including the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), with insights into the forthcoming vision for agriculture to be presented by the new College. Discussions will also focus on climate change and food security, which are set to be among the priorities of the upcoming Polish EU presidency. Additionally, the agenda will highlight the importance of soil health and the role of innovation in achieving these objectives.
The meeting will take place in person and will be translated into English and Polish.
