In conjunction with CEU's recent move to Vienna, the aim of this year's roundtable is to explore the current strengths, weaknesses, and future prospects of agroecological and organic food systems in Austria, particularly within the EU policy context. Speakers will share information about their innovative projects and practices, challenges they face, and visions for the future. The panel guests will offer guidance for students and researchers interested in collaborating directly with Austrian organic agriculture institutions. 

A short round of plenary introductions will be followed by discussion.
