Water crisis in Agriculture: time to move from words to action

8 September 2026 | 17:30–19:00

Europe is facing increasing pressure on its water resources, with droughts and extreme weather events posing growing challenges to agricultural production. This event, organised by Farm Europe and hosted by Carmen Crespo, MEP (EPP, Spain), will bring together Members of the European Parliament, European Commission representatives and leading agricultural stakeholders to discuss how Europe can strengthen water management and move from political commitments to concrete action.

The discussion will focus on the role of water management in ensuring the resilience, productivity and competitiveness of European agriculture, with Farm Europe presenting its latest study and analysis on the issue.
