Europe’s agricultural landscape is changing rapidly, driven as much by sustainability and ecological priorities as by technological breakthroughs – new gene-editing technologies have been approved, and breeding methods are advancing alongside the push for greener, more resilient farming. How can Sweden and the Nordics stay relevant in this fast-evolving, competitive market?
This year’s PlantLink Day theme is “New Techniques, new terrain: Sweden’s role in agricultural innovation”. The programme brings together leading voices in gene-edited crop research and industry, updates on the latest regulatory guidelines, and local farmers’ perspectives on modern agriculture and public perception of new genomic techniques.
Confirmed speakers:
- Henrik Brinch-Pedersen (Aarhus University)
- Anja Persson (Gunnarshögs Gård)
- Annelie Carlsbecker (Genetiknämnden)
- Jens Sundström (SLU Uppsala)
As always, we will kick off with lunch and mingling at 12:00, with the programme starting at 13:00. Beyond hearing from our speakers, look forward to a panel discussion and a closing mingle with light refreshments!
When: 10 December 2026, 12:00–16:30
Where: Lund University (venue to be confirmed)
More information and the full programme are coming soon, but you can register now!
