Outlook




      1. Farming in the EU is facing a situation marked by the emergence of new challenges and obstacles, but also by new opportunities. Issues such as the sustainability and competitiveness of the food system, farmers' difficulty in covering their production costs, climate change impact and action, the ageing of the population, the lack of generational renewal, the depopulation of rural areas, precision farming and digitalisation will certainly influence the future of agriculture and the way food is produced and consumed.




      1. A particularly important challenge is that of achieving a balance between the profitability needed to maintain agricultural productivity and life in rural areas and the protection of the environment. Special attention should be paid to EU trade policy with third countries in order to prevent the signing of trade agreements from undermining the European model of family farming and thus safeguarding the European agri-food model, which remains in the vanguard of food safety and quality standards.
