Towards a Citizens' Agricultural Policy

22.10.2015

The Common Agricultural Policy is a colossal public policy intervention, using 39% of the EU budget and shaping the farming policies of Member States. It could be a major force for improvements in public health, rural economies, and sustainable food and farming; but it is not. And it won’t be until our food system is governed democraticallyfor the common good.

Nourish Scotland, in cooperation with the European network Agricultural and Rural Convention 2020, is organizing this event to gather citizens, farmers, civil society members, and representatives from regions and cities to rethink the governance of food and farming policies in Europe, the UK and Scotland. 

We are convinced cities are a crucial component of people-centred food governance. Come and join in the discussion to share experiences and insights from your city. For more information, contact Celia Nyssens at info@nourishscotland.org.
