Delegates will comprise national authorities, relevant national and regional agencies, researchers, farmers, input industry, food business operators, consumers, social partners and youth representatives. This event will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion on

• how to make our food system sustainable,
• how to slash emissions and reverse the decline in biodiversity by reducing the environmental and climate footprint of the EU food system and strengthen its resilience
• how to protect citizens' health and ensure the livelihoods of economic operators, i.e. how to provide affordable healthy diets while ensuring sufficient farm income
• how to mobilise consumers, farmers incl. younger ones, fishers, private sector, food business operators (from farm to fork), NGOs, policymakers, R&I world, schools/universities, finance community and investors to support this transition and achieve impact on the ground (best practices). Research and innovation will be a cross-cutting topic.
