FarmFit Event is organized by VNU Europe in partnership with many top notch institutions:

European Council of Young Farmers

CEJA acts as a forum for communication between young farmers and European decision-makers. Its main objective is to promote a younger and more innovative agricultural sector across the EU-27 and to create good working and living conditions for young people setting up in farming and those who are already “young farmers”.

Rural Youth Europe

Rural Youth Europe (RYEurope) is an European Non-Governmental Organisation for rural youth. Established in 1957, it functions as an umbrella for youth organisations working to promote and activate young people in the countryside. It provides international training possibilities and works as an intermediary between national organisations, youth organisations and public institutions on an European level. Rural Youth Europe is a member-led organisation: democratically constituted and led by young people for young people.

Oxford Farming Conference (OFC)

The Oxford Farming Conference (OFC) is the leading international conference held in the UK for farming and agribusiness informing, challenging and inspiring the attendees, It’s a role that’s developed over 80 years of its history – since the first farming conference in Oxford took place in 1936, OFC has become a pivotal part in giving issues a voice and in sparking and airing debates. The OFC is attended by leaders from within all elements of British agriculture. Among delegates who attend are royalty, UK and overseas politicians, farmers, agribusiness, NGOs, leading scientists, opinion formers and scholars. The OFC Scholars Sponsorship Scheme enables many young people to participate in the conference who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend, giving them a valuable stepping stone into a fulfilling career in farming or agribusiness. Further to this there are also ‘Breaking Barriers’ scholarship places available to those who are not in agriculture but who are passionate about food systems and wish to pursue a career in the sector.

Young Professionals for Agricultural Development

YPARD, the Young Professionals for Agricultural Development, has a mission to serve as the collective global platform enabling young professionals (under 40) to realize their full potential and contribute towards innovative agricultural development. YPARD is a movement of young professionals. It creates spaces for deliberation and interaction. At the heart of YPARD as a movement are its members, who are encouraged to become active in their area, spread the news about YPARD to other young professionals, encourage a stronger voice of youth in their own organizations and share their views and ideas with other young professionals in the network.

International Agri-Food Network

The network facilitates liaison among the member organizations and engages international organizations in the agri-food chain at a global level.

This knowledge and the new found ideas can be implemented at their own organization.

Internet of Food & Farm (IoF2020)

IoF2020 is designed to generate maximum impact right from the outset and in the long-run, bringing closer together and integrating the supply and demand sides of IoT technologies in the agri‐food sector.
In this manner, IoF2020 paves the way towards data-drive farming that is capable of providing higher production yields in a more sustainable and environmentally-responsible fashion, while also making the European farming sector more competitive in an increasingly globalized world.
