LATIN AMERICA
EU-LAC Agri-Food Dialogues
In collaboration with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), AL-INVEST Verde is organising the "EU-LAC Agrifood Dialogues" series. This cycle consists of at least two thematic virtual workshops and two face-to-face workshops in 2025. The first two workshops address the issue of sustainable livestock farming in the framework of the EU Regulation on EU supply chains free of deforestation and forest degradation (EUDR). In 2026, one to two more workshops are expected to be organised.

Implementation period: April 2025 - 2026.
