Next to the European activities of my unit at the Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung it is important for me to listen to the national actors and researchers in the context of food systems. Thanks to Deutsche Agrarforschungsallianz #Dafa several speakers indicated these days in Berlin problems and research gaps, which was followed by an interesting discussion with the audience. We will take the message with us and stay in contact with #Dafa to exchange also in the future.
