New visions for rural areas
Subscribe now!
Rural areas face many challenges. Driven by changes in market development, environmental legislation, climate change and social systems, farming families, researchers and policy makers need new social, technical and economic solutions to create viable rural conditions. Over the last decades, the International Farming Systems Association IFSA has been at the forefront in developing solutions for rural areas in Europe and elsewhere. The 7th European IFSA Symposium will formulate new visions and design new tools and approaches. The symposium programme includes plenary, workshop and poster sessions as well as field trips. Plenary sessions include a presentation by Pieter Vereijken (NL) on the future of European farming and a reflection on two decades of learning and participation research. Special attention is given to exchange among workshops and between workshops and excursions. The symposium will be preceeded by a number of master classes.
