The conference theme is:

Visions for an agriculture and food policy after 2020

 

Some of the most important global challenges of our time are being influenced by the framework conditions set by agriculture and food policies. Examples of these challenges include climate change, the conservation of biodiversity, the fight against hunger, poverty and poverty-linked migration, as well as a reduction in diet-related diseases. Decision-makers in politics, industry associations and the private sector are dependent on relevant analyses and scientifically substantiated recommendations for action. Making such recommendations is a key objective of economics and social sciences in the agricultural and food sector. These should aim at the long-term maximisation of macroeconomic welfare through the sustainable management of natural resources. The key issues at the annual conference will be:

  • Which agricultural and food policy interventions are needed in certain markets, and why?
  • What should the future priorities of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy be?
  • What food policy measures are suitable for generating more sustainable consumption patterns?
  • How can buying behaviour and societal policy goals be reconciled more effectively?
  • What role can new technologies (e.g. digitisation) play in the sustainable use of resources along value chains?
  • What new scientific theories and methods appear to be particularly well suited to meeting the above challenges?
