Euroseeds welcomes the European Commission’s Vision for Agriculture and Food, presented today, as a concrete milestone towards a new landscape for Europe’s agri-food sector. The ambitious roadmap sets the stage for an attractive, competitive, resilient, future-oriented, and fair food production system that supports current and future generations of farmers and agri-food operators. The Commission’s focus on simplifying policies and fostering innovation and digitalisation aligns with Euroseeds’ long-standing advocacy for a modernized, science-driven approach to agricultural sustainability and competitiveness. The upcoming 2025 simplification package and the EU digital strategy for agriculture will be key enablers in this transition, ensuring that farmers and the broader agri-food community can fully leverage technological advancements for increased efficiency and sustainability.

Garlich von Essen, Secretary General of Euroseeds, stated: “This vision is a much-needed step forward in shaping the future of agriculture in Europe. The European seed sector stands ready to contribute to the success of this initiative by providing innovative plant breeding solutions that enhance productivity, resilience, and sustainability. We strongly support the Commission’s focus on innovation, simplification, and ensuring a fair and competitive market for European farmers.”
