New emerging trends, cultural evaluation, and the effect of climate change are shaping the future of rural areas and farmers’ communities, everywhere in Europe.
The New Green Deal, the CAP, Farm to Fork strategy might offer an opportunity for enlarging the potential for the agri-food sector to engage in diverse activities in the rural sector. Regenerative farming is a path for a more sustainable future with various business opportunities.
The Intergroup would like to explore ways and remedies for the agriculture and farming profession to thrive and face the future challenges to improve EU sustainability.
The long-term vision for rural areas will need to take into consideration the future diversity of farming and how to nurture it in rural areas. The Last JRC study farmers of the future explains that “this future diversity has the potential to contribute to the resilience of farming in the EU and thus to food security, but it also raises several questions and will have implications for future policies”.
The challenges that lie ahead are diverse and complex, and perhaps require an equally diverse and complex plan of action.
