Transatlantic Sustainability Dialogue – Bridging an agricultural understanding

We are pleased to invite you to the event Transatlantic Sustainability Dialogue – Bridging an agricultural understanding, which is taking place on the 27th of October at 15:00 organized by Farm Europe and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Farm Europe and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are launching a series of events to reflect on the sustainability of agriculture on both sides of the Atlantic. 

There may be different practices, traditions, and ways of farming between the United States and EU, but there is agreement on the need for sustainability to reflect environmental, social and economic dimensions.

In this first event we will listen to both the voices of political leadership, policy experts, and farmers, to deepen our mutual knowledge and explore ways to bridge an agricultural understanding between Europe and the United States. As the EU launches the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity strategies and finalizes the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), USDA moves forward with the Agriculture Innovation Agenda (AIA) and Science Blueprint 2020-25. The timing couldn’t be more perfect for a “Transatlantic Sustainability Dialogue”.

The event will be held on the Zoom platform, which you can access through the following link on the day of the event: https://zoom.us/j/98164000220

POSTPONED – Seizing the available tools for the EU to develop winning strategies to halt deforestation

Due to the recent developments in the situation with the COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we regrettably have decided to postpone the event « Seizing the available tools for the European Union to develop winning strategies to halt deforestation » originally scheduled to take place in the European Parliament on the 25th March. The health and safety of our guests and participants are of greatest importance, therefore we do not feel that it would be advisable to host the event at this point in time.
 
We kindly ask you for your understanding and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Nevertheless, the importance of the topic is crucial, thus we will make sure to have it at another, more convenient time, possible at the end of April or in the beginning of May.
As soon as we know more, we will inform you of a new date for our event.
We count on your presence for the future event and wish you all the best until then!
 ———————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Building upon the broad and lively discussion of last week’s International Conference on Forests for Biodiversity and Climate, Farm Europe is pleased to organise the event:

 
Seizing the available tools for the European Union to develop winning strategies to halt deforestation
 
 
The event will give the opportunity to present a detailed, practical oriented perspective on how innovation can be used today effectively and efficiently on a large scale to protect the world’s forests by stepping up the efforts on stopping deforestation and achieving deforestation-free commodities to combat imported deforestation.
 
The event is organized under the patronage of Irène Tolleret (Renew Europe) and will feature presentations on crosscutting technological options by AIRBUS and EarthWorm.
 
Please note that the seats are limited and you are cordially requested to register through info@farm-europe.eu
