The Food and Agriculture World Forum and Symposium 2009 in Budapest

Abstract

A tense and very sensitive transition is under way in Central Europe as the region moves from a closed to an open market system while integrating into the European Union. The Central European Countries (CECs) are important participants in the global agri-food market and seek to share solutions while strengthening their competitive global position. This conference provided regional solutions to global food system challenges while generating a dynamic and open exchange of strategies from top managers, policy makers and food experts from around the world.Agricultural and Food Policy,
