What happened in Bologna?
More than 300 professionals, one shared goal: the future of agriculture
AGRAYA SUMMIT 2026
The AGRAYA Summit, held in Bologna, Italy from 27 to 29 October 2026, brought together stakeholders from the agriculture and food sectors representing 45 countries. The event was organized by Agraya, an international organization focused on sustainable supply chains, certification, and auditing. The conference centered on sustainable agriculture, technological innovation, certification systems, and collaboration among producers and other stakeholders. Its key message was that the future of agriculture depends on practical solutions, knowledge sharing, and collective action.
The most important challenges facing agriculture, all in one place
Across 30 sessions, a total of 53 speakers shared their insights on key topics including regenerative agriculture, climate resilience, producer empowerment, technological innovation, international trade, agricultural certification, and opportunities for responsible supply chains and collaboration.
Collaboration is the key to sustainable agriculture
Beyond the numbers, a clear message emerged: the future of agriculture depends on understanding the realities of everyday farming, working together, sharing knowledge, and turning ideas into practical, real-world solutions. These efforts are essential to creating a more sustainable, transparent, and resilient agricultural sector.
