4th Forum for the Future of Agriculture (FFA2011): CAP Renewal For Better Farming

The fourth edition of FFA will return with its best ever line up of speakers. “CAP renewal for better farming”, the main subject of the conference, will give our participants plenty to get their teeth into considering that the Commission legislative proposal reforming the CAP will be released soon after FFA 2011. This will give our high caliber of speakers, moderators and participants a timely opportunity to debate the ways in which the CAP can meet the challenges of food and environmental security, as well as the expectations of European citizens.
