EU Agri-Food Days 2026

Save the date: 8-9 December in Brussels

Boosting resilience in EU farming and food

How can Europe’s agri-food sector respond to today’s most pressing challenges and build a more resilient future?

The EU Agri-Food Days 2026 will explore resilience across four interconnected dimensions: economic, environmental, digital and social, bringing together the key issues, opportunities and solutions shaping the future of Europe’s agri-food sector. Discussions will look at how EU policies and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), can help the sector navigate these challenges and build greater resilience.

Gathering farmers, policymakers and stakeholders from across the agri-food sector, this event will offer a space to exchange views, share knowledge and discuss solutions for a more resilient European farming and food system.

Be part of the conversation in Brussels on 8 and 9 December 2026!
