THE AGRICULTURE & FOOD SUMMIT AGRICULTURE & FOOD Summit November 30, 2017 Maison de l Amérique Latine, Paris PUTTING SUSTAINABILITY ON EUROPE S FARM-TO-FORK MENU On November 30, 2017, POLITICO will gather farmers, policymakers and industry experts for the first Agriculture & Food Summit, in Paris. From farms to forks, we ll discuss the challenges and opportunities of sustainable food production and the ways in which our growing world is inspiring innovation and industry potential. Europe s agriculture and food industry is at a crossroads: It faces pressure from consumers and government to more sustainably plant, produce, process, label and distribute the Continent s world-renowned food and beverages. Right time, right place: with proposed reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), Brexit negotiations underway, and growing consumer awareness about food traceability and safety, how can Europe cope with population growth that may require a 70% increase in agricultural production by 2050 and adopt sustainable practices in every link of the food chain to build a circular economy that will protect essential resources?
