Critical dependency and strategic autonomy in the EU fertiliser market

The EU stands at a significant crossroad, marked by a new legislative cycle and the challenge of harmonising environmental goals with industrial needs. The Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture has emphasised the importance of enhancing sustainable farming practices. Decarbonising agriculture and food production are essential steps in this transition, requiring the advancement and scaling of innovative solutions and sustainable practices.
