Presidency conclusions on the future of agriculture in the EU

In the absence of consensus on the conclusions among member states, the presidency issued presidency conclusions, which were supported by a wide majority of member states.

The presidency conclusions stress the key role of the sector when it comes to ensuring food security and strategic autonomy and acknowledge the numerous challenges it is facing, including climate change, geopolitical tensions, profitability, and the administrative burden.

The presidency conclusions focus on several key elements for this future vision: a strong and competitive EU agricultural sector, innovation and cooperation, simplification, support for young and new farmers, as well as climate change resilience.
