The Cyprus Agri-Food Forum 2025, held from 11 to 13 November 2025 at the Ledra Palace Hotel, successfully brought together over 150 participants from across Cyprus and the EU, including farmers, fishers, agri-food businesses, rural entrepreneurs, researchers, NGOs and community leaders.
Over three days, attendees engaged in interactive panels, workshops, and networking sessions focused on advancing sustainable agriculture, fisheries, and rural development for resilient and innovative agri-food systems. Key topics discussed included climate-smart farming, innovation, animal genetics, food-industry and market trends, EU policy, Green Line trade, and inclusive community development, among other.
Leading experts from key institutions shared practical insights and success stories, sparking meaningful dialogue and collaboration across various sectors. The Forum emphasized the importance of bi-communal cooperation and highlighted how Cyprus and the EU can work together to build resilient and inclusive food systems.
Participants left the Forum with new tools, ideas, and connections to help grow their businesses and strengthen their communities. All sessions were held in English, with simultaneous translation in Turkish and Greek, ensuring broad and inclusive participation.
