Agrofood (MP)

The regulatory, technological and business environment of the food and agricultural industries is evolving quickly.Regulation is shaping the approach to food production and land management. The European Commission’s Food Safety policy aims to ensure a high level of protection of human health regarding the food industry, through an integrated “from farm to fork” approach, covering all sectors of the food chain. In parallel, EU policies on land management aim to preserve the quality of the environment, together with the sustainability of rural activities in Europe.

New technologies, including precision farming, integrated farm management and biotechnologies, have the potential to improve the productivity and efficiency of agricultural activities, but this can only be achieved by industry players that are capable to successfully implement them into their business processes.Within this landscape, the food industry is called to update their business models to couple financial and environmental sustainability, while taking into account ethical issues related to the food supply and managing and fulfilling the expectations of increasingly aware consumers.
