Ag Policy Exchange: Finding common ag policy ground among countries in a divided world

"Global agriculture is navigating a period of profound geopolitical, economic, and environmental upheaval, raising urgent questions about how our food systems can remain sustainable, resilient, profitable, and for many, affordable."

"While politics and conflicts may divide nations and thicken borders, food - and the policies around how it is produced and where it goes - can provide a reality check on how interconnected and interdependent the world still is."

"This latest webinar hosted by RealAgriculture and the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI) brings together a panel of ag policy experts in Australia, the European Union, the United States, and Canada to discuss the pressures they're seeing on farming in their countries, ideas each jurisdiction might learn from each other, and where common ground exists."
