Food matters

Poland Weekly talked to Małgorzata Bojańczyk, Director at the Association of Sustainable Agriculture and Food in Poland, EU Common Agricultural Policy Expert. “In comparison to other EU markets we are still at the beginning of the road when it comes to sustainable food production. The association conducted a study of more than 200 companies from the agri-food sector and identified a group of “leaders” – defined as companies where sustainable development is an integral part of their organization and investment priorities. The study from 2022 showed that 25% of the companies are leaders in sustainable development, half of the companies are just at the beginning of their journey, but have already started implementing some solutions, such as sustainable investment strategies, and 25% are “latecomers.” But we are working to spread awareness and prepare companies for the green transition. As a country we have the opportunity to become a leader in sustainable agriculture in Europe,” – said Małgorzata Bojańczyk.
