The EU’s green, resilient and sustainable farming

  • Exhibitions

The Salon International de l’Agriculture took place in Paris, France, from 24 February to 3 March 2024. It was the opportunity for visitors to find out how the EU paves the way towards green, resilient and sustainable farming for everyone, including: 

  • the key role the common agricultural policy (CAP) plays to ensure safe and affordable food, environmental care, vibrant and lively rural areas, while supporting European farmers' income;
     
  • how the EU helps us make healthier food choices and cut out food waste to meet the targets of sustainable food systems;
     
  • how the EU empowers the farming industry, from satellite imagery to geo-tagged photos and real-time data to improve decision-making and promote sustainable farming practices.
