From 17 to 26 January 2025, stakeholders in agriculture and the food industry as well as representatives of agricultural associations and the European Commission met in Berlin for the annual Grüne Woche (Green Week). Three hundred thousand visitors were expected. As every year, the Food for Europe team was present to moderate a panel discussion. The panel focused on the aftermath of the farmers’ demonstrations that erupted in Europe exactly one year earlier, in January 2024. The protests, based around demands for fair incomes and fair prices, took place not only in Germany but throughout Europe. Our guests gave us their opinions as to whether the European Commission has responded adequately since then to farmers’ concerns. This podcast presents a summary of the live panel debate.
