This World - The Next

The 61st episode of Food for Europe looks back at the conference held on 17 October 2025 in Brussels that brought together all the players in the Farm Accountancy Data Network, FADN. 

It was an opportunity to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the network but also to look to the future with the evolution of the FADN into Farm Sustainability Data Network (FSDN). While the accounting database has played a key role in assessing the impact of agricultural policies and adjusting them, it has also provided farmers with a better understanding of the management of these policies.

As for the academic world, there are countless research works made possible by this field data that is made available across all Member States. By integrating environmental and social data, the FSDN aims to reflect the impact of recent developments in the Common Agricultural Policy and shape its evolution in the future. Only farmers who volunteer will be involved. 

To fully understand the added value of FADN and FSDN, Food for Europe spoke on the fringes of the conference to Patrizia Engelhart-Getzinger, a young Austrian farmer who has been feeding the network with data for years. Katre Kirt, who heads the FADN/FSDN unit at the Estonian Centre for Rural Research and Knowledge, talks about the challenges faced by data collectors in her country. Alessandra Kirsch, an agricultural engineer with a PhD in agricultural economics and policy in France, explains how the FADN has fuelled her research, which is still useful to the European Commission today. Finally, Bence Tóth, deputy head of unit for analysis and outlook of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, explains the timeline for the implementation of FSDN and expands on issues raised by the other podcast guests.

61. A sustainable farming economy: the added value of data networking

Lyrics:

Baby your only mine
baby you only shine
and what else i gotta say, how bout we loose the rhymes
Ive made about a hundred tracks, love and misery

ion know ill talk about the pain within me
i steady focus about you
i really love about you
i really am about you

how come i haven't brought to you my feelings huh
because I stay shaking and you dont see the clues
you dont see the moon always in the sky
and then when it turns dark you seem to not light up life

fair i know i always say these things are not a bother b
fair I also dream what is impossibly
baby i dont really wanna talk about the past 
baby it is already always in my head 
and when you start talkin i re think again
and when u start makin me all sad again
i just think i will be better off gone
you can fly away but by night the stars will guide

how come i haven't brought to you my feelings huh
because I stay shaking and you dont see the clues
you dont see the moon always in the sky
and then when it turns dark you seem to not light up life

they say u should focus on yourself
then i wouldn't be myself
baby your not the problem
your the heart that ive always felt
Only mine through the tears that i hold
Onto you baby please dont go far
In the past I was all drunk
I fucked up pain that i felt
Fair not fair baby lets talk
No more words we are now done
thought of you will never stop
I wont ever ever give you up
Onto you, ina another life
baby we will live on to eternity 
A little caught up in you thats certainly 
to move onto another dream 

how come i haven't brought to you my feelings huh
because I stay shaking and you dont see the clues
you dont see the moon always in the sky
and then when it turns dark you seem to not light up life


Pain Within Me

Worlds next Thing
