The workshop aims to engage stakeholders to assess the future data needs necessitated by reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy, Green Deal, Farm to Fork and Biodiversity Strategy. The particular focus is on broadening sustainability indicators (economic, environmental and social) used to assess progress towards a more sustainable food system and evaluate associated policies.

It is part of a recently launched H2020 project Monitoring and Evaluation Frameworks for the Common Agricultural Policy (MEF4CAP) which aims to draw on the insights and perspectives of all relevant stakeholders to deliver a roadmap for future monitoring, where the needs of different stakeholders are met and the potential of different approaches is fully exploited, while minimizing the costs and administrative burden and optimizing the value of the collected data.
