The governing charter of the current government emphasizes that Iceland is a leader in the production of wholesome agricultural products and will ensure the continued competitiveness of the fisheries sector. It says that there are opportunities based on an interest in food culture with sustainability and quality in mind. All of the country's organic resources, the bioeconomy, need to be further developed and innovation and product development promoted to increase the value of products and regional stability.
On this occasion, we are holding MNÍ Food Day to discuss food policy for Iceland from various perspectives.
The program looks very good and exciting speakers who will shed light on their point of view and work with organizations on what food policy for Iceland should look like.
These include
- Jóna Björg Hlöðversdóttir from the Association of Young Farmers,
- Ara Edwald from Mjólkursamsälan,
- Bryndís Eva Birgisdóttir from the Laboratory of Nutrition,
- Axel Helgason from the National Association of Small Boat Owners,
- Kristján Þórarinsson from the Association of Companies in the Fisheries Sector
- and more very powerful speakers.
