The Transatlantic Dialogue on the agri-food system was held in conjunction with FFA’s international partner, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. It focused on existing and potential areas of collaboration on research and innovation between the European Union and the United States, particularly with respect to the digitalisation of food and agriculture, climate resilience, environmental protection, and healthy diets.
In addition to representatives from the E.U. and U.S. government / legislative institutions, panelists the event also included stakeholders from industry agri-food and from civil society, who are already contributing to the transatlantic research and innovation agenda in this area.
