How to ensure a sustainable agricultural trade regime

Join this online event to learn more about agriculture-related issues at the intersection of the FSR agenda on energy, climate, and sustainability, and explore the policies and regulatory regimes that can support sustainable agricultural trade.

The Strategic Dialogue on the Future of EU Agriculture has emphasised the importance of promoting sustainability and competitiveness in trade policy.

This webinar aims to highlight the critical importance of sustainable agricultural trade and its benefits for the environment, society, and the economy.

The panel includes representatives from EU institutions, academia, and international organisations who will address the coherence between trade and sustainability policies while reviewing approaches to trade negotiations that recognize the strategic importance of agriculture in international trade.  A comparative analysis of the EU regulatory regime will also be featured. Furthermore, participants will discuss effective strategies and interventions to promote sustainable practices, including the adoption of trade measures, standards, certifications and labels. Lastly, this webinar will emphasise the role of collaboration among farmers, traders, policymakers, and consumers in driving change. By the end, participants will be equipped with actionable knowledge to support sustainable agricultural trade and contribute to a more resilient and equitable food system.

This online event is designed for businesses, trade associations, farmers’ organisations, scientists, and policy analysts. Through expert discussions and case studies, attendees will gain insights into best practices and innovative solutions for fostering sustainability in agriculture as part of the broader climate agenda.
