In its Vision for Agriculture and Food, the European Commission introduces its strategy for the EU agri-food sector for 2040. It presents four priority areas: an attractive agricultural sector; a competitive and resilient sector; a future-proof sector; and fair living and working conditions in rural areas. The Vision for Agriculture and Food builds on the Strategic Dialogue on the future of EU agriculture and follows previous European Commission proposals to bring about changes in the agri-food sector (see our previous News Update).
