The
agricultural sector is at a crossroads. Climate change, demographic
pressures, geopolitical tensions and evolving EU frameworks are reshaping how we produce food,
manage land and sustain rural livelihoods. Meeting these challenges requires
more than national solutions — it calls for smart, regional cooperation.
Benelux cooperation offers a platform to
address these shared challenges. By connecting policymakers, researchers, young
and new farmers, NGOs and financial actors, we aim to explore synergies between
national approaches and generate new momentum for joint action.
Under the Luxembourg
Presidency of the Benelux Union, this seminar brings together key
stakeholders to explore how regional cooperation can make a tangible difference
in three key areas:
🌱 Fostering
innovation and resilience
🌱 Improving access to land
and finance
🌱 Supporting generational
renewal
The programme will include expert presentations, case studies and interactive
discussions to identify good practices and strengthen future collaboration.
Objectives?
• Facilitate knowledge exchange across borders
• Share practical and innovative approaches
• Provide input for the Benelux agricultural agenda
