2025 will be a pivotal year for EU agriculture, setting the pace and scope of the sector’s transformation in the coming years.
The EU vision for agriculture and food published this February and the 2040 GHG emissions target to be agreed upon this year demonstrate the urgent need for clear priorities and a path forward in the sector.
The Strategic Dialogue’s recommendations have already highlighted the necessity for a more holistic approach to agri-food systems transformation, including reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2027. Simultaneously, mounting pressure on the EU budget from multiple competing priorities, as well as Ukraine’s planned accession to the EU, create additional opportunities to advance discussions about agriculture’s future.
In this session, our panelists will discuss how the EU’s vision for agriculture and food is likely to shape future policy debates and how the Polish presidency can ensure that the sector receives appropriate attention in the upcoming Multiannual Financial Framework negotiations. This includes examining the CAP’s role in strengthening the resilience of Polish agriculture and the prosperity of rural areas. We will also explore policy instruments and farming models that could make the agri-food transition equitable, and beneficial both economically and environmentally.
