Show Notes

Ensuring food security across the EU is a priority for the current Common Agricultural Policy and the proposed new CAP. For our 64th episode of Food for Europe, we report from day one of the Agri Food Days 2025.

This three-day event — encompassing agriculture and food stakeholders, including farmers civil society, academia and policymakers — is an annual forum to deepen and broaden discussions about the latest policy trends, challenges and opportunities in the EU agri-food sector.

Day one was dedicated to in-depth discussions about food security and the steps necessary to support the resilience of the agri-food sector. There was also a strong focus on the ways in which research and innovation enhance competitiveness, and how sustainable farming practices can help in adapting to climate and environmental challenges.

The programme includes contributions from German regenerative dairy farmer Felix Riecken, academic Yann de Mey, organic entrepreneur Lubomir Nokov, young farmers’ representative Katharina Schobersberger and European Commission official Barthélemy Lanos.
