On April 22, 2026, a virtual meeting on the topic of “Action Points” will take place for participants of the U.S.-German Forum Future Agriculture 2026. Aspen Institute Germany and the project partner, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, will welcome the sixteen participants of the 2026 cohort to this virtual session. As part of the project, the Institute brings together eight German and eight U.S. farmers as well as other agricultural stakeholders to promote innovative approaches to pig and poultry farming and to strengthen transatlantic relations overall. In addition to the virtual meetings, this year’s cohort will meet in person from April 7 to April 11, 2026, in Hildesheim, Germany, and from May 31 to June 4, 2026, in Raleigh, United States. During these meetings, participants will discuss practical and policy solutions as well as opportunities for transatlantic cooperation, visit best-practice sites, and engage with local representatives from politics, business, and academia.
The project is supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany with funds from the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
