For nearly 30 years, Agra Europe's Outlook for Agriculture conference has been one of the most important meetings for debate on the future of agriculture and food policy in Europe
Outlook for Agriculture 2010 gives you an unrivalled opportunity to hear from the people at the business-end of European farm policy-making, as well as key senior executives from the major players in the agriculture sector.
Keynote presentations will address all the most topical farm policy issues, including the outlook to the 2013 budget review, the effect of the Health Check Implementation and the latest prospects for a WTO Doha Round agreement.
Speakers in 2009 included:
Klaus-Dieter Borchardt, Deputy Head of Commissioner Fischer Boel's Cabinet, European Commission
Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, UK
Dr Alexander Sarris, FAO, Italy
Knud Buhl, Director, Trade Policy Division, Danish Meat Association, Belgium
Hans van Meijl, Head of Section, Agricultural and Food Policy, LEI, Wageningen University and Research Centre, The Netherlands
This year's event promises to be bigger and better than before, so do not miss the opportunity to join us in 2010 in London to network with leaders and opinion-formers from government, agriculture and the food industry.
PLUS ONE DAY WORKSHOP – 15 March 2010
AGRA EUROPE CAP MASTERCLASS 2010
Increase your knowledge of the workings of the CAP in practice
Getting to grips with all the complex workings of the CAP is extremely difficult, even for professionals who work in agricultural policy or commodity trading on a daily basis.
The CAP Masterclass provides a detailed analysis of the key aspects of the CAP, focusing on its workings in practice and its day-to-day impact on agricultural commodity markets.
In just one day you will deepen your understanding of the institutions and processes related to the formulation of farm policy, the mechanics of market support and farm subsidies, the financial aspects of the CAP and the roadmap for the post-2013 budget review – enabling you to make more informed judgements and save valuable time whenever you deal with the CAP.
