The outputs to be generated within the scope of the dialogue process, in which the Council of the EU and the European Parliament are expected to participate in the consultations, are expected to be reported in the summer of 2024 and the EU Commission is expected to formulate future recommendations for the agriculture and food sectors on the basis of this report.
“It is time to create a new vision on agriculture and food”
“It is time to build a new consensus on food and farming among farmers, rural communities and all other actors in the EU agri-food chain. EU farmers and the food industry provide our citizens with healthy and high-quality food and make an important contribution to our economy, especially in rural areas. They are also making a tremendous effort to contribute to our collective green and digital transitions. But they also face a wide range of challenges, from climate change to inflation and volatile market influences. With this Strategic Dialogue, we are creating a forum to offer a clear vision for the future for the benefit of all.”

In the first half of 2024, the launch meeting will be followed by a series of thematic meetings and the Strategic Dialogue will address the challenges and opportunities raised by the participants, such as ensuring a fair standard of living for farmers and rural communities and supporting agriculture across EU borders.
Professor Peter Strohschneider, who heads the German Federal Government’s work on agriculture and food, has been appointed as Chair of the Dialogue to promote a thriving future for agriculture and food systems and the EU food system, where planets and ecosystems are supported by the great opportunities offered by knowledge and technological innovation. Strohschneider will regularly inform and exchange views with the Council and the European Parliament.
“The Strategic Dialogue aims to go hand in hand, bringing together agriculture and nature conservation. I am convinced that it is possible to balance the economic, ecological and social aspects of the entire food system in a reasonable way, taking into account the wide diversity of this area. I look forward to working together with all participants of the Strategic Dialogue”.
