Hello joe,
 

This month, we dive into the future of farming. From regenerative approaches and digitalisation to fresh insights into agricultural careers, there’s plenty on the horizon for the industry to embrace that champions holistic and resilient farming practices.  
 

This edition also spotlights how to inspire a new generation of farmers, through a new report from the EIT Food Consumer Observatory. Professor Klaus Grunert and Director of Public Insights and Engagement Sofia Kuhn spoke to Impakter about young people’s perceptions of farming as a career and what can be done to safeguard the future of the profession. 
 

Finally, don’t miss out on your chance to secure early-bird discount tickets for Next Bite 2025, happening in Brussels from 15-16 October. 
 

We hope to see you there!
