EU stand at the Grüne Woche 2025 fair

Find out about today’s farming practices and how the EU is paving the way towards a more competitive, fair and sustainable agriculture for Europe.

The Grüne Woche fair attracted around 22 000 visitors to the EU stand over 10 days for the 2025 edition.

The Directorate-General (DG) for Agricultural and Rural Development shared the stand with DG Health and Food Safety and DG Defence Industry and Space. The theme this year was “A Competitive, Fair and Sustainable Agriculture for Europe”. The stand offered engaging experiences to inform visitors about the CAP, quality labels, food waste and animal welfare.
