Investing in the future also means investing in our agriculture and in our food, trusting the younger generations, focusing on entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation. These themes will be at the heart of the recovery plan to promote quality food, local, accessible to all and that takes care of everyone.
It is only natural that the Ministry of Agriculture and Food has been a partner of ECOTROPHELIA France and ECOTROPHELIA Europe since its creation. In the continuity of the General States of Food, the renewal of the support to these two important student competitions, a veritable showcase of food diversity and creativity, makes perfect sense.
The public policies implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food are intended to:
- encourage new production and transformation models , in a logic of multi-performance, which respects the agroecological transition;
- improve the competitiveness of agricultural and agri-food production and support exports;
- ensure food safety, animal and plant health, animal welfare;
- develop safe, healthy, sustainable and quality food, accessible to all;
- promote the educational, professional and social integration of both youth and adults through a high level agricultural education established in our territories;
- monitor the payments of the Common Agricultural Policy and negotiate France’s interests at European and international levels, in agriculture and agri-food.
The transformations underway, be they environmental, societal or technological, are challenges for our agriculture and our food, which research and teaching can help meet. We can be proud of French agriculture and food.
