EU CAP Network’s 1st meeting of the Thematic Group on Valuing Farmers’ Wider Contributions to Society
February 26 @ 08:00 - 15:30
This Thematic Group (TG) will reflect on existing narratives about farmers and the broader societal value produced by farmers. These can include individual, family, or community-based farmers, with diverse sizes of farms, and conventional or organic farming practices. The main goal of the TG is to facilitate the recognition of the multiple roles of farmers in rural communities and explore how to raise awareness about them.
Aims of the first TG meeting:
- To jointly explore wider societal contributions of farmers as well as existing narratives about farming.
- To collect insights, experiences, good practice examples and innovative ideas on how the role of farmers could be better recognised.
- To share relevant examples and case studies from across the EU.
- To discuss the next steps of the TG (in-between meetings and second TG meeting).
