Europe and its agriculture stand at a pivotal moment. More than ever, farmers hold the key to ensuring EU sovereignty, strengthening global food security, and advancing the bioeconomy—an essential pillar for decarbonizing the EU economy. As discussions on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) gain momentum, restoring coherence between the CAP and the broader EU policy framework has become an urgent priority.

In this context, translating the new vision and an ambitious EU roadmap for agriculture and food into concrete action will be essential to revitalize the sector as a sustainable engine of growth for Europe. This year’s Global Food Forumwill be dedicated to this mission, marking Farm Europe’s 10th anniversary with high-level discussions and forward-looking recommendations.

This event will bring together key stakeholders, including European economic and political leaders, national ministers, economic actors, media representatives, and civil society, to engage in meaningful discussions on the future of European agriculture.
