The agrifood sector is strategic in a large number of countries around the world. This is because it is an important source of wealth and employment, and ensures the food supply. In addition, agricultural and livestock activities have a major impact on the environment and land use. Although the rural environment has diversified, it remains closely linked to agriculture, both economically and through the landscapes it creates and the culture it generates, and its development remains a major challenge. In addition, agricultural commodity markets tend to be volatile.
Climate change and the management of natural resources, in particular water, particularly affect the agricultural sector, posing a challenge for its sustainable management. With globalisation, companies must make a major effort in terms of efficiency, differentiation and innovation in order to be competitive. This means adapting their structures, improving their position in the value chain and adopting modern management, distribution and marketing techniques. Internationally, foreign trade and foreign direct investment offer opportunities for growth. For developing countries, it is necessary to consider the role of cooperation and agricultural and food safety policies.
