The fifth congress will open the agenda and use our network to give our participants as much room as possible to interact and create their own Farm & Food experience.

What will agriculture look like in the Future?

How do influencing factors such as consumer interests, changing eating habits, global increase in protein demand, technological progress and climate change interact?

Before discussing these and other questions, we invite you to take your first networking opportunity at the start of Farm & Food 2020 and make last-minute appointments for a coffee meetup using our networking app. You can meet our exhibitors or exchange ideas at the first roundtables and workshops.

Opening panel: Disruptive Agriculture

The opening panel will present the topics of the day with people from industry, agtech, start-ups, innovation and research: The topics will include “true innovation” and the next generation in agriculture. The aim is to develop a robust model for sustainable food production: open-minded and in dialogue with society, industry, agriculture and research. It is about designing a holistic agricultural system that benefits farmers.

Joe Bassett
The CEO of Dawn Equipement Company as well as Underground Agriculture Inc. from Illinois will present his vision of agriculture and discuss the internal struggle between complexity and simplicity as well as the fundamental question “What is technology in agriculture?” The first panel will continue to focus on how important change is – and how we can bring value back to the farm

Workshops, RoundTables, Networking

We will then open up around 3000 square metres of space for you. Take part in workshops, roundtables, take advantage of numerous opportunities to network; make new contacts and meet colleagues from across the country.

BioTech – Do we want to do what we can do?

Let our experts shed light on agricultural challenges, international competitiveness, trade and social acceptance: Whether new technologies such as CRISPR can contribute to greater sustainability in agriculture depends on a number of external factors: Where is it used? How does regulation differentiate between very different applications? What about consumer acceptance?

Finally, there is the question of how those trends and techniques will affect Europe and its place in the world if new technologies become standard in other countries. What are the problems that trade, producers and consumers will face? What do these groups expect from politics?

New value-added networks

Following our focus “From field to plate”, this panel is dedicated to new value creation networks. Cooperatives, farmers who leave out the middle man by agreeing on B2B-trading deals, companies who focus on regional supply chains. Not only in Germany farmers and firms are trying out different business models to be, among other things, more sustainable and/or cost efficient.

Discuss with the WWF and farmers what future value chains can look like that might generate more added value in rural areas. Who are the right or/and the new partners who can implement the economic requirements from field to plate?
