From accountancy to sustainability: 60 Years of farm data

  • Conferences and summits
Farm Accountancy Data Network

This one-day conference marked the 60th anniversary of the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) and explored its transformation into the new Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN). The event reflected on six decades of farm data collection and analysis in the EU, and showcased how this foundation will support future sustainability efforts in agriculture and what role FSDN will play in the future of the CAP.

The event featured keynote speeches, high-level panel discussions, and in-depth sessions on data use, farm-level sustainability benchmarking, and the role of FADN/FSDN in EU policy.
