It will allow the US Department of Agriculture and the European Commission’s DG for Agriculture and Rural Development “to exchange knowledge and information and to promote mutual understanding and trust. We believe that science and innovation will bring about a more sustainable agriculture. We must work together to devise systems and solutions that are good for agricultural producers, good for consumers, good for businesses (...) and good for our planet.
