mer 02/06/2021 by Richard Wilkinson

Freshfel Europe’s Annual Event 2021 full programme has been released. The three-hour online Annual Event from 10:00-13:00 CEST comprises of four sessions covering detailed insights into opportunities for the sector to lead the way for a healthy and sustainable future for Europe and beyond. This includes Freshfel Europe’s journey as a EU representative association since its establishment in 2001, upcoming EU policy on agriculture  and  sustainability  for  fresh  produce,  consumer  expectations  in  the  next  decade,  and  financial business support for the fresh fruit and vegetable sector.

Freshfel Europe General Delegate Philippe Binard said: “This year Freshfel Europe’s Annual Event is featuring high profile guest speakers as part of the 2021 celebrations. We are pleased to have many keynote speakers including FAO Deputy Director General Beth Bechdol, renowned food trend researcher Hanni Rutzler from Vienna-based Future Food Studio, Rabobank Senior Fruit and Vegetable Analyst Cindy van Rijswick, and senior European Commission officials with Deputy Director Generals of DG SANTE and DG AGRI Claire Bury and Michael Scannell respectively.”

Freshfel Europe guest speakers for the 2021 event will offer their reflections on the next decade for the fresh produce sector starting from this important year.

Binard said: “The Annual Event 2021 will be highly informative for participants, especially fresh fruit and vegetable sector leaders looking for market and policy direction in the years to come. Learning from economic and financial perspectives from banks will also be of great relevance following a period of uncertainty in the sector as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the midst of shaping new sustainability requirements to cope with the European Green Deal, and in particular its Farm to Fork Strategy, as well as the impact of the climate change challenge.”

Following each of the four sessions, Freshfel Europe Board members will also provide sector evaluations on each topic.
