Finding Common Ground in a Divided World
Finding Common Ground in a Divided World explores how global agriculture can remain both sustainable, resilient and profitable amid profound geopolitical, economic, and environmental change. Developed by the Global Forum on Farm Policy and Innovation (GFFPI)—a collaboration between leading agricultural think tanks from Australia, Canada, the European Union, and the United States—the paper brings together diverse perspectives to inform constructive dialogue on the future of food and farm policy.
Through highlighting GFFPI perspectives, expert opinion, and a series of dialogues held in October 2025, the report explores topics including the shifting centre of gravity in agri-food policy and the challenges facing innovation, food security, and sustainability. The dialogue revealed common concerns: eroding trust in science, widening gaps between ambition and implementation, and the need to align trade, innovation and environmental policies with farm-level profitability.
