'Can EU CAP it?' Project on tour: Internationale Grüne Woche Berlin
Established in 1926, International Green Week is taking place for the 80th time this year: it is a one-of-a-kind international exhibition for the food, agricultural and horticultural industries. At the same time, the IGW is the point of origin for the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA), with more than 65 departmental ministers. Producers from all over the world come to IGW to test market food and luxury items and reinforce their brand image. Following consumer trends, regional sourcing plays an increasingly important role. Renewable resources, organic agricultural, rural development and gardening continue to gain importance at IGW.
IGW offers a unique opportunity for debate and exchanges of experience and best practice. Over the past decades, the conference has established itself as an unmissable event for anyone involved with protecting the environment.
We have organised Seminar on the Future of Rural Areas and the new Common Agricultural Policy: towards a rural renaissance?, that will take place on Saturday 24 January. The language of the event is in German, the entrance is free and you can sign up to our seminar now via Eventbrite.
To take part in the IGW 2015 debate, please follow hashtags #IGW2015 and #canEUCAPit.
