Overview of the Vision for agriculture and food

Recognising the essential role of farmers in our lives, the Vision seeks to boost the agri-food sector’s competitiveness and attractiveness.

It is essential for Europe’s food security, sustainability, competitiveness and rural vitality, and helps safeguard Europe’s capacity to produce food, maintain innovation, and sustain life in rural areas.
