EXPO_AGRI WEEK_“Is the EU on the right path towards long-term food security?”

The aim of this event is to make people understand what is at stake- food security in the EU is not only about feeding people worldwide, it is about ensuring that we provide European citizens with healthy and nutritious food that can be produced not just today but also tomorrow. It is about securing long term healthy food production capacity and hence above all protecting natural resources farming relies upon.

With our event we aim at highlighting first the environmental risks that are currently undermining Europe’s long term food security and second show the role that policies, often contradicting policies, play in trying to deal with this issue (or not). We want to provide the participants with space for discussion and exchange and confront different views: those of NGOs, scientists, farmers, health organisations etc.

Finally, we want to set the scene for the future and propose solutions that will then be discussed with the participants.
