Diversifying food production is key to strengthening the resilience of European agriculture and creating realistic business models for farmers in the coming years, according to EU’s agri-boss Janusz Wojciechowski.
Speaking at a EURACTIV event on climate change and its link with food security, the Polish Commissioner warned about the risks of concentrating the same type of production in single regions of Europe and the world.
For the Commissioner, diversification plays a major role in reducing the exposure to economic crises triggered by the over-reliance on non-EU economic partners, as has recently happened with the Russian embargo and US tariffs.
