As the first country in Europe, an agreement has been reached between the government and agriculture/the Agricultural Council on an initial reduction of greenhouse gasses, primarily CO2 and methane, from agriculture and the food industry. This policy will gradually impact the selection and production of, especially, animal-based foods, specifically meat production from ruminants and dairy production. From a product perspective, how should we handle this development? Which products should replace/complement traditional products? Which production methods will be used in the future? The conference focuses on the political, climate, product, market, and regulatory aspects of this complex situation.

Summary of the Event:

This conference will focus on the challenges and opportunities presented by climate change in the European food production sector. Specifically, it will delve into possible solutions in connection with this first-of-its-kind agreement between the European government and agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
