Policy Forum Series 2024: Sustainable Trade & Agriculture – Coherence and Pluralism at a Politically Charged Intersection

19 JUNE 2024
ORE: 12:30 – 14:00
BSoG, Pleinlaan 5, 1050 Brussels, floor +1 Voltaire meeting room

The sixth session will delve into the intricate relationship between EU trade policies and its agricultural directives. It will assess the effectiveness of the EU’s international collaborations, enacted through both bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, in supporting the EU’s agricultural objectives, including the advancement of sustainable agricultural practices and ensuring robust food security. This analysis will identify how coherent EU agri-food trade policies are with sustainability objectives and how successful integrations of trade agreements have benefited agricultural sustainability. The session will also scrutinize gaps where trade and agricultural policies are less aligned and evaluate the advantages and challenges of synchronizing these areas within EU strategies. Furthermore, it will propose innovative strategies and frameworks to better harmonize agricultural goals with international trade efforts, aiming to contribute to a more sustainable and fair global agricultural framework.
