The European Commission launched a 'Forum on Best Practices in the Agri-Food Supply Chain' aimed at enhancing the cooperation of primary producers, improving their position within the food supply chain and increasing the market transparency as one of the actions envisaged under the Farm to Fork Strategy.
The first session of this forum, organised by the ENRD Contact Point in partnership with the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, took the form of a workshop on 'The Farm to Fork Strategy and cooperation in the agri-food supply chain'.
The event discussed the transition to a sustainable food system and key challenges from the perspective of farmers, producer organisations, retailers as well as Member States and the European Commission. It presented and discussed concrete experiences and relevant funding mechanisms available under the current CAP and future CAP Strategic Plans to support sustainable agri-food supply chains.
