9th Panhellenic Congress for the Development of Greek Agriculture

For the 9th consecutive year, the Panhellenic Congress for the Development of Greek Agriculture organized by GAIA EPICHEIREIN, a significant event for the primary and broader Greek agri-food sector, will take place on Monday, 17 July 2023 at the gaiasense HUB building in Piraeus and will be broadcast online.

Considering that year 2023 is particularly critical, as it is the first year of implementation of the new CAP, the Congress will once again become a reference point for all those involved in the country's agricultural sector, and an important forum for their concerns. The participation of renowned representatives from the political scene, as well as experts and representatives of the sector from Greece and abroad, will guarantee a constructive discussion and a fruitful exchange of ideas.

With a thematic focus on "Greek agriculture towards 2030: achieving sustainability with the support of the CAP", the 9th Congress will tackle the need to strengthen the sustainability and resilience of EU and Greek agriculture in the face of the major challenges of climate change and geopolitical upheavals, but also the necessity to produce more -and better- with less through the green and digital transition of the production processes.

The 2030 milestone is particularly important in this respect, as it represents the deadline for achieving the targets set by the "Farm to fork" and "Biodiversity" strategies, as well as the EU's climate objective to reduce emissions within its borders by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels. Legislation serving these ambitious goals, a part of it already underway, is expected to be gradually integrated into national CAP strategic plans, radically changing the production profile for both European and Greek agriculture.

In this framework, the 9th Congress will trigger an in-depth discussion on current global, EU and Greek climate-related challenges affecting the agricultural sector, the relevant CAP tools, as well as strategic options and best practices from EU Member States.
The 9th Congress is organized in the context of the Information Measure CAP4Clima, implemented by GAIA EPICHEIREIN and supported by the Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission.

The 9th Panhellenic Congress for the Development of Greek Agriculture will also be broadcast live via a digital platform. You can register for free using the following link: https://www.eventora.com/en/Events/9th-panellinio-synedrio-gaia

In 2014 a pioneering scheme was launched in Greece: a powerful alliance between the primary, banking and technology sector, represented respectively by 72 agricultural cooperatives, the Livestock Breeders Association (SEK), the subsidiary of Piraeus Bank Group 'Excelixi S.A.', and NEUROPUBLIC S.A., one of the leading Informatics & Technology companies in Greece.

The very synergies, that we were the first to envision and implement, and our joint strategy, aiming at a more sustainable and competitive national primary sector driven by knowledge and technological innovation, are now, some years later, part of the objectives and tools of the new Common Agricultural Policy and the European Green Deal. In May 2022, and in order to meet the high demands of CAP 2023-2027, 23 of the largest agricultural advisory service providers in the country joined the coalition.
