The second Forum for the Future of Agriculture (FFA) one-day conference will take place in Brussels on the 18th March 2009.
The conference will again be chaired by Franz Fischler, and will include high level speakers representing, among others, the European Commission, European Parliament, FAO, Member States and the private sector.

Questions which will be addressed include:
- Do we need new structures to better govern and provide finance for food and environmental security?
- How has the financial crisis affected global trends and prospects for agriculture and the environment?
- Is Europe doing enough to build its own capacity for food and environmental security?
- What should be Europe’s role in reforming the structures for governing and financing food and environmental security?
- What should be Europe’s role in reforming the structures for governing and financing food and environmental security?
- Has the world responded effectively to the challenge of food and environmental security, and what should it do next?
