The Future of Biotech: Reimagining Regulation for accelerated progress – Report

The year 2026 marks a pivotal moment to advance meaningful change in global food and agricultural policy, trade, and development. With the European Commission’s Vision for Agriculture and Food now setting the strategic direction, and negotiations on the next Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) progressing, Europe has a critical opportunity to translate ambition into action. This period is decisive for reshaping food systems to strengthen resilience, sustainability, and long-term competitiveness. In this context, biotechnology and the bioeconomy stand out as essential enablers, driving innovation across agriculture and food systems while supporting the broader transition toward a more sustainable and circular economy.

This report, developed with the expert contributions of, and endorsed by, the Task Force on Sustainable Food Systems and Innovation, examines five cases where targeted regulatory streamlining could strengthen the competitiveness of biotechnology while supporting economic resilience and innovation in sectors such as sustainable agriculture, food security, and climate resilience.
