SUMMARY:Best4Soil online conference
DESCRIPTION:It is harvest time for the Best4Soil project. In their online conference on 16 February 2022 they will showcase the project results with the help of many dedicated people all over Europe you can take part and join the discussion. \nAs we all know\, healthy soils are the basis of any sustainable farming system. They are the basis of healthy plants and thereby for healthy people. That’s the reason why healthy soils are also at the centre of the Best4Soil network\, which was established 3 years ago. \nSince then\, they have created videos\, factsheets and tools all around the issues of soil health\, soil borne diseases\, nematodes and crop rotation. And all that information is already available in 22 languages – for free! \nAnd now\, close to the end of the project period\, Best4Soils has created a vibrant conference programme packed with passionate practitioners\, eminent scientists\, experienced advisors and committed politicians – all aiming to achieve what is Best4Soil. \nA famous TV cook\, farmer\, beekeeper and member of the European Parliament will show how healthy soils correlate with healthy nutrition. Practitioners will share their experience about how they manage soil health on their farms\, using green manure and cover crops\, compost\, anaerobic soil disinfestation and the Best4Soil Decision Support Tool for managing soil borne diseases. And if you always wanted to know what underpants can tell about the vitality of your soil\, they’ve got you covered. \nYou can find the programme here \nClick here to register: https://hopin.com/events/best4soilconference

SUMMARY:1st meeting of the ENRD Thematic Group on Rural Proofing
DESCRIPTION:Rural proofing is a mechanism that can help boost rural revitalisation by ensuring all relevant policies are aligned with rural needs and realities. It is also one of the transversal elements outlined in the Long Term Vision for Rural Areas. In the vision it is indicated that the EU will take steps to integrate a rural proofing mechanism as part of the Better Regulation Agenda\, notably to assess the anticipated impact of major EU legislative initiatives on rural areas. The vision also calls for Member States to consider implementing the rural proofing principle at the national\, regional and local level.  \nThis is the first meeting of the ENRD Thematic Group (TG) on Rural Proofing\, which is launched with the ambition to support the design and implementation of rural proofing mechanisms within Member States at different administrative levels (national\, regional and local). The meeting sets the scene on rural proofing and provides a space for sharing knowledge and experience on what should be considered when designing rural proofing mechanisms and applying them in practice. \nAims of the meeting \n\nTo provide an overview of existing experience on rural proofing in different countries\, with a particular attention to success factors and challenges;\nTo start discussing how to design effective rural proofing mechanisms taking into account specific contexts and different administrative levels; and\nTo exchange on the further work of the Thematic Group\, including activities in-between meetings.

SUMMARY:The 2021 EU Agricultural Outlook conference
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nThe 2021 EU Agricultural Outlook conference took place online on 9 and 10 December. The theme of this year’s event was ‘Fit for 2030 – resilient EU agri-food systems and rural areas’. \nThe conference examined what we expect global agricultural markets to look like in 2030\, in light of the political and market uncertainty currently facing the agricultural sector. Will food systems be more resilient following the Covid-19 pandemic? Will the new common agricultural policy effectively encourage farmers across Europe to embrace the green transition? \nSenior representatives from EU bodies and international organisations\, farmers\, agricultural experts and rural actors discussed these questions\, as well as the broader medium-term outlook for agricultural markets\, income and environment. \nThe EU Agricultural Outlook conference has become a successful annual event for broad exchanges among stakeholders on market prospects in agriculture\, including the political framework and uncertainties surrounding market developments in the next 10 years. Each year the conference coincides with the release of the annual report on market prospects. \nKeynote speech by Mr Janusz Wojciechowski

SUMMARY:The Farm-to-Fork Strategy and cooperation in the agri-food supply chain- ENRD-supported virtual webinar
DESCRIPTION:The launch of the European Commission’s Forum on Best Practice in the AgriFood Supply Chain gathered expertise from across Europe at the ENRD-supported virtual webinar on 2 December. \nMore than 80 participants took part in the Forum’s first session which combined keynote perspectives from different European Commission services and practical experience from successful producer organizations. The event was opened by Maciej Golubiewski\, Head of Cabinet for Commissioner Wojciechowski\, and Michael Scannell\, Deputy Director General\, DG AGRI. They highlighted the value of sharing good practices in transparent supply-chain cooperation that strengthens positions of producers and others during the EU’s transition\nto more sustainable food systems. Delegates taking part included producers\, processors and retailers with information being provided about relevant Farm to Fork tools that can help drive a transition to sustainable food systems – such as the Code of Good Conduct for Responsible Food Business & Marketing Practices to which over 100 organizations have already signed up to. See the Forum event webpage to learn about its findings regarding CAP mechanisms available for supporting producer organizations (POs) and more. \n  \n

It considered four themes that are related to key priorities for forest management in the EU: \n\nAdaptation and mitigation of climate change\nCircular bioeconomy\nMonitoring in forest management\nForest biodiversity\, ecosystem services and multifunctionality\, including agroforestry\n\nThe specific objectives of the seminar were: \n\nBringing innovation closer to rural areas by learning how to stimulate cooperation amongst different actors in forest value chains\, and enhancing positive spill-over effects\, such as new products or value chains\, services or business models\, local jobs\, or the valorisation of local biomass and resources.\nStimulating the uptake of innovations and fostering cooperation in sustainable forest management practices\, by connecting relevant projects and initiatives in the domain of the 4 proposed themes.\nBridging knowledge and practice\, with a particular focus on a supportive environment for social innovation and on small and/or unmanaged forest holdings. Exploring ways to scale-up forest management\, foster cooperation or promote vocational training or advice.\nContributing to the research agendas and implementation of the new EU forest strategy for 2030 by identifying needs from practice that are related to the supportive environment for innovation.\nInspiring the setting-up of new initiatives that address key challenges of European forests\, and particularly the creation of new EIP-AGRI Operational Groups (OGs)\, especially in those countries and regions with a lower ratio of OGs on the subject.\n\nParticipants included forest owners\, foresters\, farmers working on aspects linked to forestry\, schools\, vocational education and training organisations\, advisory services\, researchers\, EU regions and Member States amongst others.
