SUMMARY:ACCESS TO LAND IN EUROPE: LEARNING FROM THE FIELD
DESCRIPTION:Seminar 19th and 20th June and Conference 21st June – Brussels\nEuropeans need farmers to produce good food\, feed our communities\, foster rural development and take good care of our environment. But growing evidence from farmers\, rural development organisations and experts shows that access to land is a significant obstacle for farmers in Europe\, as well as being the primary obstacle to entering farming. \nMeanwhile\, social innovations are emerging throughout Europe to support farmers in securing land to enter farming or to consolidate their farm businesses. Over the past few years\, organisations – coming together in the Access to land network – have mapped good practices and explored core issues related to access to land. These issues include how to open up land for new entrants\, the role of local authorities\, and available legal tools for land tenure and stewardship. \nFor two days\, on 19-20 June\, practitioners from across Europe will meet to share experience and analyses about issues and practical solutions to improve access to land for agroecological farmers. \nIn complement\, on 21 June\, a public conference will focus on drawing lessons and discussing policy levers with other civil society organisations\, experts and policy-makers. \nPlease find the program here: www.accesstoland.eu/-Conference- \nSEMINAR – ACCESS TO LAND IN EUROPE: LEARNING FROM THE FIELD\nDate: 19th & 20th June 2017Venue: Chant d’Oiseau Training Centre\, Avenue des Franciscains 3A\, Brussels \nDuring this seminar\, top experts from all over Europe gather to share the results of their search for best practices that can overcome the obstacles to access to land. \nWe tailored the seminar for a wide panel of actors ranging from policy makers\, members of an organisation who manage access to land\, social entrepreneurs who wish to set up a new access to land initiative in their country\, researchers or citizens interested in the subject. \nCONFERENCE – SOLUTIONS AND POLICIES FOR ACCESS TO LAND IN EUROPE\nDate: 21 June 2017Venue: L42\, Rue de la Loi 42\, 1000 Brussels \nAccess to land has been identified as the number one obstacle for the development of agroecological farming in Europe.
