On 3 June from 10:00 to 12:00 CET, the Policy Learning Platform will host a webinar as part of the #EUGreenWeek on smart and green local agri-food value chains.

What can you expect

The transition to a smart and green European food system is central to the EU Green Deal.

The EU Farm to Fork Strategy published on 20 May 2020 highlights the importance of local agri-food value chains. The importance of a smart and resilient food system became even more evident during the Covid-19 crisis and more recently with the war in Ukraine.

The supply of local quality affordable food and the issues around the sustainable livelihood of farmers were put in the spotlight at a time when international and even national supply chains were disrupted.

Below you can find an overview of what you can expect during our webinar.
