Conferences and summits: 6th African Union (AU) – European Union (EU) Agriculture Ministerial Conference
A sustainable future for agri-food systems is the focus of the sixth AU-EU agriculture ministerial conference, which aims to strengthen collaboration and address current challenges facing both continents' agri-food systems.
The conference will discuss in depth four topics that will feed into the overall theme with a good potential for concrete EU-AU partnership:
- Investment and Financing in agri-food value chains
- Sustainable Practices and Climate Resilience
- Research, Innovation, and Technology
- Market Access and Trade Facilitation
AU and EU Ministers of Agriculture, together with representatives of other international organisations, will convene in the afternoon plenary session to take stock of the thematic discussions and pave the way for future cooperation. The plenary session will be streamed live.
