How to link the European policies to local actions? Not so easy of a task but through the European Countryside Movement (ECM), RURENER is taking part in the European platform working at the European level to promote policies and tools for the integrated development of rural areas.

In response to the first official draft of the CAP reforming process under the title “The Future of Food and Farming” by the European Commission, the ECM published a communication entitled “What implications for rural development?” (for French: MER-Com2018-1-FR). RURENER is very much in line with the increased effort to combine agricultural practices with climate action, mentionned in the European Commission document and confirmed by Mihail Dumitru (DG Agri) last Monday 19th of March during an event on “Funding the integrated development of rural territories”.
