Executive Course on the Vision for Agriculture and Food

3 days

Ensuring a Sustainable and Competitive Future for EU Agriculture

The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for 2028–2034 comes at a moment of significant transition for European agriculture and is more than an adjustment of financial instruments: it is a rethinking of how Europe intends to support farm incomes while strengthening competitiveness and long-term resilience.

The Vision for Agriculture and Food (EC, 2025) provides strategic direction for shaping a fairer and more competitive CAP, built around four priorities—Attractiveness, Competitiveness, Future-proofing, and Connection—which together aim to support a more dynamic, resilient, and globally connected agri-food system. Yet its operationalisation will require careful choices in areas such as climate, trade, and the bioeconomy, where economic, social, and environmental interests often intersect.
This online training will engage you for three full days, exploring key elements of the CAP reform and the Vision, and helping you understand the new strategic, targeted, and forward-looking policies that will shape European agriculture.

 

Through expert insights and interactive sessions, this course will help professionals navigate the shifting regulatory landscape, assess growth opportunities, and develop strategies to enhance resilience and competitiveness in the EU’s evolving agricultural framework.
