The Agriculture Commission

---

The Agriculture Commission is a new commission, aiming to provide research-driven insights and foster informed debate on key issues shaping European agriculture, rural development, and agri-food systems. Our priorities include:

1. Generational Renewal, Rural Development and Social Resilience: Explore policies that attract younger generations to agriculture, strengthen rural communities, improve access to opportunities and services, and foster social and economic resilience across rural Europe.

2. Agricultural Policy and Food Regulation: Analyse CAP reform within the 2028–2034 EU budget and developments in EU food law, from food safety to geographical indications.

3. Technological and Financial Innovation: Examine how emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, and innovative financial instruments can enhance the competitiveness, resilience, and sustainability of European agriculture.

4. Agricultural Markets and Strategic Autonomy: Produce in-depth analyses of agricultural markets, trade agreements, input costs, and commodity price volatility to inform Europe's food security and strategic autonomy.

5. Stakeholder Engagement and Collaboration: Foster dialogue, cooperation, and knowledge exchange among farmers, rural communities, agri-food businesses, innovators, researchers, and policymakers to address shared challenges.
