Agrifood, Sustainability and International trade
Part 1: Agrifood and Sustainability
We will discuss agrifood and sustainability, with emphasis on health, environmental and sustainable development related topics such as water-food, land use, food wastes, climate change, carbon footprint, pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modify organisms (seeds). Instead of intensive, dehumanized agriculture, how can we best protect local communities, cultures, and know-how?

Part 2: Agrifood and International Trade
We will discuss the current situation of agrifood and sustainability and the possible scenarios and trends in light of free trade agreements such as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between the EU and Canada (CETA); the proposal of a Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement covering Europe and North America (TAFTA); and the United States, Mexico, Canada, Agreement (USMCA) to be revised in 2025 before the agreed date if 2026.
