Agora Report launch: The future of agriculture, forestry and food in a climate-neutral EU

10 September

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has promised to present her vision for a competitive and sustainable EU agriculture and food sector within the first 100 days of her second term. But how can agriculture, food as well as forestry successfully contribute to different sustainability objectives, such as climate protection, food security and biodiversity protection, which are often deemed incompatible?

The first study by Agora Agriculture aims to answer this question by outlining a future scenario for the land use sectors in a climate-neutral Europe.

Based on a comprehensive quantitative analysis, the study finds that agriculture and forestry can make a substantially bigger contribution towards Europe’s objectives on climate, biodiversity and human health than they currently do. This is possible while increasing the EU’s contribution to global food security. The study demonstrates the importance of a policy framework which incentivises efficient land use and a more sustainable demand for food, feed and other biomass. The new EU legislative cycle is a critical opportunity to develop such a framework.

We would like to invite you to join our online press briefing for the launch of the study

“Agriculture, forestry and food in a climate-neutral EU – The land use sectors as part of a sustainable food system and bioeconomy”

Tuesday, 10 September 2024, from 11.00 – 12.00 CEST.

Agora Agriculture’s directors Dr. Christine Chemnitz and Prof. Dr. Harald Grethe will present the study’s key findings, after which we open the floor for questions from journalists.

We kindly invite you to register for the briefing HERE. Registered journalists will receive the report and press release embargoed.

The embargo will lift at the start of the briefing, on Tuesday, 10 September 2024, at 11.00 CEST.

Please feel free to distribute this invitation to your colleagues and contact us should you have any questions.
