Wintertagung 2019 - the most important Austrian agricultural symposium – was held during the week of January 28, 2019. The symposium is a platform to discuss current developments, challenges and opportunities in the agriculture, food and forestry sectors. Key topics of the event included upcoming challenges for agriculture, like the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform, Brexit, climate change, animal welfare and plant protection. Austrian Minister for Sustainability and Tourism Köstinger made it one of her highest priorities to implement country of origin labeling (COOL) for processed products in 2019 and she cautiously supported access to new breeding technologies in agriculture to address upcoming challenges to the sector.
