Thank you to all participants for the rich discussion today 🙌

Your contributions will help shape evidence-based EU agri-food policy for the future.

Stay tuned for outputs & next events!
#ACT4CAP27

Next steps👇
✔️ Refine Sugar Tax & Biodiversity scenarios
✔️ Integrate feedback into modelling
✔️ Feed results into the ACT4CAP27 Interactive Roadmap

Wrapping up the #ACT4CAP27 workshop.

Key takeaway:
Stakeholder insights are essential to ensure models reflect real-world constraints, behaviours, and opportunities.

🎬#ACT4CAP27 stakeholder workshop now:

Across both sessions, one theme stands out:

👉 Trade-offs are unavoidable — but they can be better managed with robust modelling + stakeholder input.

#ACT4CAP27 #FoodSystems

[ACT4CAP27 HE Project │ also on bsky @act4cap27.eu @ACT4CAP27]

Stakeholders are weighing in on a core question:

👉 What level of trade-off between production and biodiversity is acceptable?

No one-size-fits-all answer — context is key.

#PolicyDesign

[ACT4CAP27 HE Project │ also on bsky @act4cap27.eu @ACT4CAP27]

What makes biodiversity measures viable?

💶 Compensation mechanisms
🌍 Carbon revenues
📜 Market-based tools (e.g. biodiversity credits)
Design matters as much as ambition.

Key discussion point👇
Short-term vs long-term impacts:
📉 Immediate production losses?
📈 Long-term system resilience & ecosystem gains?

Stakeholder perspectives vary.

In the Biodiversity session: unpacking trade-offs between environmental ambition and agricultural production.

How far can policy go — and at what cost?

Stakeholders highlight broader implications of a sugar tax:

⚖️ Distributional effects across income groups
🌾 Impacts on sugar beet farmers
🔁 Role of policy in supporting transitions
#JustTransition #EUAgriFood

[ACT4CAP27 HE Project │ also on bsky @act4cap27.eu @ACT4CAP27]

A central modelling challenge👇

If substitution between sugar and alternatives is underestimated, impacts on consumption — and EU sugar beet production — may be overstated.

Stakeholder insight is crucial here.

#ACT4CAP27 Stakeholder workshop now:

In the Sugar Tax session: exploring how fiscal policies could reshape consumption patterns and impact EU agriculture.

Key question:
👉 How realistic are current assumptions on consumer response & substitution?

Kicking off the #ACT4CAP27 workshop!
Welcome to all participants!
Why this matters👇
Food systems face multiple pressures:
🌍 Environmental sustainability
🥗 Healthy diets
⚖️ Equity & affordability
Better modelling = better policy decisions.
#EUAgriFood #FoodSystems

[ACT4CAP27 HE Project │ also on bsky @act4cap27.eu @ACT4CAP27]

#ACT4CAP27 aims to strengthen analytical tools & modelling capacity to support EU agri-food policies beyond 2027.

🔑message:
👉 Understanding trade-offs & synergies across economic, social & environmental goals is essential.
