Honoured to have been part of the Strategic Dialogue. It has been an extraordinary journey and I am glad we have reached a new narrative for EU agriculture and food. Now it's time to move from words to action - all eyes on the next European Commission!

Grateful to the Strategic Dialogue & Chair Prof. Strohschneider. For their vision and concrete recommendations for an agriculture that works with and for nature. And that promotes a competitive European food value chain. Let's keep that positive spirit alive.

Vereerd om aan de Strategische Dialoog over de toekomst van de Europese Landbouw te hebben mogen deelnemen. Inspiratie voor het oppakken van het #landbouwakkoord in Nederland?

While the #Draghi Report proposes many valid recipes for boosting the EU's industrial competitiveness, including massive investment, it mentions the EU's largest manufacturing sector (food & drink manufacturing)...only ONCE! How reflective is this of Europe’s industrial reality?
