Join us in Warsaw at the Next Bite Satellite: Accelerating resilient agriculture across Europe

Dear Francesco,

As a journalist covering agriculture, food systems, sustainability, climate, innovation, investment or European policy, we are pleased to invite you to Next Bite Satellite Warsaw, EIT Food's flagship regional event dedicated to resilient agriculture, taking place on 28-29 October 2026 in Warsaw, Poland.

Agriculture in Poland and across Europe is facing increasing pressure from climate change, extreme weather events, soil degradation, rising production costs and growing demands on food security. At the same time, farmers and agrifood businesses are being asked to produce more with fewer resources while remaining competitive and economically viable.

Next Bite Satellite Warsaw will bring together leading policymakers, farmers, researchers, investors, corporates and innovators to discuss one of the most pressing questions facing the agrifood sector today: how can resilient agriculture move from pilot projects to large-scale implementation?

📅 28-29 October 2026

📍 Ujazdowski Castle, Jazdów 2, 00-467, Warsaw, Poland

The event will provide journalists with direct access to leading voices from across the European agrifood ecosystem, including policymakers, businesses, researchers, investors and farming representatives. Discussions will address the future of food production, climate adaptation, farm profitability, food security and the policies shaping Europe's agricultural transition.

Key speakers include:

• Paweł Chmieliński, Director of the Institute of Rural and Agricultural Development, Polish Academy of Sciences.
   
• Luis Vivas-Alegre, Head of Sector Research and Innovation Coordination, European Commission
   
• Richard Zaltzman, CEO, EIT Food
   
• Andrea Porro, Secretary General, World Farmers' Organization
   
• Todo Terzić, Head of the food and agriculture unit, National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED)
   
• Key representatives from major organisations like Unilever, PepsiCo, Malteurop and PNB Paribas, among others.
   

We also would like to share with you interview opportunities with key actors of our company in making possible Europe’s transition to Resilient Agriculture:
 

• Elvira Domingo, Resilient Agriculture Director at EIT Food
   
• Przemek Adolf, Agricultural Project Manager at EIT Food and responsible for the Lower Silesia 360º Landscape.
   

As Europe looks for solutions that can help farmers remain productive and profitable while adapting to increasingly challenging conditions, Next Bite Satellite Warsaw will offer valuable insights into the innovations, investments and collaborations helping to shape the future of agriculture.

The event will be held in English. You can view the programme here and event information here.

Warm regards,

EIT Food
