A range of intensifying pressures is making the future European agriculture dynamic and contested. Insights into these are needed to inform debates about sector. In this study, we use a foresight approach identify, quantify map megatrends. Megatrends long-term driving forces which observable today will likely have transformational potential in future. By mapping megatrends at regional scale, es...
