Policy & regulation

Recent changes in agricultural policy have placed greater focus on fairness, competitivity, and sustainability throughout the agricultural industry. While new policies such as the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are for the betterment of the industry, businesses must be ready to adapt and comply with these policies or risk punishment.

Sudden shifts in agricultural regulation can have dramatic impacts on food and agribusinesses. Policy consultants can assess regulatory trends in existing markets to identify and proactively address upcoming changes, as well as provide insights into the regulatory environment in new markets.

Policy consultants assist governments by evaluating existing policies, identifying gaps, and providing evidence-based recommendations to strengthen policy and legislation. They help improve the regulatory framework for the benefit of both public and private stakeholders.

Well-crafted policies incentivise responsible operations, enhance credibility, and mitigate risks in the food and agribusiness sector. They also address challenges like sustainability, food security, and food safety.
