The European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) brings together agricultural economists and other scientists interested in the challenges of the agricultural and food industries and rural development in Europe and beyond. The main objectives of the Association are: to promote the knowledge and understanding of agricultural economics, especially in the European context, and to promote the exchange of ideas, methodologies and results between agricultural economists.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Association, the EAAE Congress will take place in Bonn in 2025 and is expected to bring together between 700 and 1000 scientists, experts, stakeholders and policy makers from all over the world to discuss the most topical and pressing issues facing the agri-food sector.

In its plenary sessions, the Bonn 2025 Congress will focus on the generally acknowledged need for food system transformation to achieve global sustainability goals. There will be an emphasis on how agricultural economics can assist the agrifood system in rising to the challenges posed by conflicting and competing interests. It will provide a foundation for long-term collaboration in research and teaching and a platform to initiate and foster a meaningful impact for the discipline. More info.
