Grow Green
Food and Farming Systems for a Climate-Friendly Future

In light of the current environmental and climate crisis, steps towards a transition to more sustainable forms of agriculture and food production need to be taken. A shift away from animal agriculture towards plant-based farming is one of the solutions.

So, how can we help farmers to adopt more sustainable practices? How can we encourage the development and implementation of policies favouring better solutions, such as plant-based organic farming? How can we share best practices and know-how on forms of agriculture that will help meet climate targets? And how can farmers economically sustain such a way of producing food?

The Grow Green conference will bring together EU policymakers (MEPs, European Union government representatives, EU Institution representatives), think tanks and NGOs, agricultural organizations, farmers and growers, sustainability professionals, food trade industry representatives, retailers and more to discuss these questions.

The conference aims to:

• Increase the awareness of policymakers about the impact of animal agriculture and the benefits of moving towards plant-based organic farming.
• Promote plant-based organic agriculture as one of the solutions to combat the climate crisis.
• Discuss and gather support for policies favouring this type of agriculture.
• Share knowledge and learn from plant-based and organic farming pioneers, and demonstrate that this is economically viable for farmers.
• Show the opportunities that plant-based organic offers to food manufacturers and retailers.
