Private Economy legislature It is an oasis of the voice of entrepreneurs, farmers and experts who are actually building the Polish food chain. This is where the heart of the debate lies in helping local producers and strengthening the “Polish shelf”, i.e. promoting home products so that the consumer has access to healthy local food. These issues are not so fashionable as strategical ones — in a time of global crises and trade restrictions, it is crucial that the economy is resilient, acting for citizens and independent of abroad capital.
This year's edition integrates expert dialog and legislative consultation. The legislature is divided into 2 parts: the circular Agricultural and Food Table, which is the space for free exchange of views on the assumptions of the local shelf law, and discussion panels. The first panel is “What does a Polish product mean?” with the study of the Jagiellonian Club “Economic Patriotism AD 2025...”. The second, "What adjustments does the European Green Deal require?", concerns the impact of EU climate policies on Polish companies.
Both representatives of the administration, including Jan Ardanowski, Janusz Wojciechowski and Artur Zawisza, as well as representatives of the sector – from processors to manufacture organizations and initiatives specified as We Check, Coop Tech Hub, Poland from Nature or the Union of Polish Milk Processors will take the floor.
The 2nd Private Economy legislature will be held on 25 August 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Zielona Conference Centre in Warsaw. The event is part of the celebration of Polish Food Day, which besides underlines the precedence for the promotion of local products. The organizers are the Jagiellonian Club Analysis Centre and the Jagiellonian Club, and the Union of Biomethane and Biogas manufacture Manufacturers and Employers partner. The honorary patronage included, among others, the Ministry of Agriculture and agrarian Development, KRUS, Poland from Nature and the Inspectorate of Agricultural and Food Products Trade Quality.
The legislature will be an chance to present a fresh version of the Pola 3.0 application, which is utilized to identify Polish products. This tool, which already uses hundreds of thousands of consumers, allows to check whether the product supports Polish capital and local producers. In erstwhile years, the app has been downloaded over 750,000 times, and users have scanned respective million products.
The importance of legislature is both applicable and symbolic. On the 1 hand, this is simply a concrete legislative work on the local shelf bill. On the another hand, dialog between administration, business, organizations, and citizens shows that food sovereignty is real, not empty slogans. Building added value in the agri-food chain increases the function of local producers, strengthens consumer identity and enhances economical resilience in the face of crises and climate challenges.
The organisers invitation all stakeholders, both manufacture representatives and consumers aware of their purchasing choices. Participation is an chance to get to know the latest reports, to perceive to debates with key experts and to establish contacts that can consequence in real projects and changes in law.
The Private Economy legislature is an event where local food meets the law, innovation and strategy of the state. This is simply a forum that asks questions: “How to guarantee access to healthy Polish food?”, “How to build economical resilience?”, "How to make Polish capital real by force?". The consequence may be government which will strengthen local trade and production, supporting Polish products and consumers.
