05 Sep 2024 --- The final version of a report detailing the future of European food and farming following a lengthy consultation with agri-food stakeholders across the supply chain was presented to the European Commission (EC) president Ursula von der Leyen yesterday. There are mixed reactions to the strategic dialogue. However, many agri-food players welcome recommendations focused on increased plant-based diets and boosting relationships with farmers. Meanwhile, other stakeholders are calling for a more robust overhaul of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which demonstrates some deeply divided opinions over the future of farming.
