2nd meeting of the ENRD Thematic Group on the European Green Deal and Rural Areas

Online

The meeting was focused on effective approaches to support the transition to fully sustainable practices in agriculture and forestry, and analyse how the future CAP could best be used to upscale them. The programme was built around experiences from the Rural Development Programmes, as well as other relevant initiatives such as the LIFE programme, Horizon 2020 projects, or national, regional or local initiatives.

Aims of the meeting:

To identify the smartest ways to replicate or upscale effective approaches under the future CAP, including by combining pillar 1 and 2 interventions.
To provide inputs to a factsheet on possible approaches to green interventions in the CAP Strategic Plans.
