Third European Forum on Rural Development

The main objective of the 3d European Rural Development Forum will be to exchange and analyze policies, insights and field experiences aiming at answering the following question: What kind of rural development should we promote to tackle food insecurity and hunger?

This general objective can be broken down to three more specific objectives:
a) To promote exchanges between policy-makers and practitioners, linking rural development policies and their implementation, and informing the wider policy debate with practical experiences and empirical evidence.
b) To share experiences on key issues (e.g. agro-ecological approaches, land policies, market and prices, rural women, etc) where rural development has achieved results in fighting against rural food insecurity and poverty.
c) To build networks of rural development practitioners, bridge stances of stakeholders in rural development / food security and thereby facilitate development effectiveness.
