Rethinking economic life together

In this panel discussion we bring together people who are pursuing new and creative approaches to fundamental questions of the agricultural economy. In open exchange we get to know different initiatives – from small impulses through processors and traders to community-based local and regional markets.

Economic activity has always formed the foundation of community life. At the centre is the farm organism, which extends to processors, traders and finally to consumers. Today’s fragmented and often dysfunctional economic structures challenge us to rethink our way of economic activity and of economic cooperation.

This panel discussion invites us to reflect on the role of community in shaping economic life and to explore together how new forms of cooperation, responsibility and community value creation can emerge.

A panel discussion with Fabio Brescacin, Olivier Clisson, Alice Groh, Ueli Hurter, Merle Koomans, Tom Saat and Andres Milan at the Agriculture Conference 2026 “You never farm alone”.
