The Agricultural Congress 2019, who are the speakers?

The National Economic Agricultural Congress 2019 is coming. Boerenbusiness sets the thermometer in agriculture every year, with this year's theme: 'Entrepreneurship in a different climate'. Will you be there on December 18 in Amersfoort?

Doing business in the agricultural sector in 2019 will be dominated by a different climate. Politically, meteorologically, society, changes are coming at the agricultural sector from all sides. As an entrepreneur, how do you prepare for such changes and how do you make yourself resilient in these turbulent times?

The National Economic Agricultural Congress van Boerenbusiness gives the answers. An event full of current figures and visions for new insights and inspiration and a great opportunity to network.

Inspirational speakers
We are proud to present the speakers of the 2019 edition: agriculture minister Carola Schouten shares her ideas about entrepreneurship in the future and economist Mathijs Bouman explains the economic influence on agricultural entrepreneurs. Also, the Boerenbusiness Awards awarded for the first time by jury chairman Aalt Dijkhuizen.

Together with our partners: Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and Wageningen University, we look at current economic developments and their consequences for the future.

Cycles in agriculture
Statistics Netherlands takes a closer look at 'Cycling cycles in agriculture: towards the conclusive story'. The many reports and articles on agricultural cycles fall like ripe apples from the tree. Some taste for more and others miss the mark. It is a gigantic challenge in this complex field of work to turn the right buttons and thereby close all cycles in agriculture by 2050. This mainly concerns macroeconomic statistics, the energy balance, the nitrogen balance and the trade balance. The chain approach is crucial to properly monitor the impact of agricultural activities on the environment.

What do you base your strategy on?
Wageningen University (WUR) takes a closer look at 'Entrepreneurship in a new reality'. High-tech, nature-inclusive, mega-, micro-, global market, circular agriculture, critical citizens, price-conscious consumers; many agricultural entrepreneurs are continuously looking for ways to respond to trends and developments. As an entrepreneur, how do you build a future-proof company on a playing field where the lines are constantly moving and where everyone finds something to like? What do you base your strategy on? What suits you and your company? And what are the do's and don'ts?
