Following Chris' report this week, Will and Ben are joined by Jukka Likitalo, Secretary General of Eucolait, and Kite Director John Allen to examine the European Commission's recently published Vision for Agriculture and Food document. Jukka elaborates on the Commission's perspective regarding the future of agriculture and food in Europe, highlighting key priority areas aimed at enhancing the competitiveness and appeal of the agri-food sector while ensuring long-term food security. He emphasises the implications for farmers, particularly in fostering a fairer supply chain for dairy and improving farmers' incomes. Additionally, Jukka and John discuss the influence of recent farmer protests in Europe on policy development, as well as the effects of the evolving geopolitical landscape and increasing trade tensions. They also address the differences between the EU and the UK post-Brexit, particularly concerning the loss in subsidies for dairy.Please note: The information provided during this podcast has been
