With Europe’s Common Agricultural Policy up for reform CEJA, The European Council of Young Farmers, will hold a seminar entitled ‘What CAP fit for young farmers?’ on 19-21 September in Louvain-La-Neuve,Belgium. The event will host European Commissioner Dacian Ciolos and Belgian Federal Minister Sabine Laurelle amongst other high level speakers from EU institutions, agricultural experts, representatives from the banking sector and young farmers.
Organised at a crucial time ahead of the anticipated Communication from the European Commission, young farmers will outline their vision for a rejuvenated and modern agriculture to face the many challenges ahead. Climate change mitigation, preserving the rural territory in an environmentally sustainable way, feeding an increasingly growing population whilst ensuring a fair and adequate return from the agricultural sector are just some of the challenges today’s young generation of farmers face.
The seminar will include a specific section on market management, rural development and an informative panel discussion on the current situation of young farmers face in terms of installation costs and opportunities to make the sector attractive for young agri-entrepeneurs. The event will be concluded by a press conference and an award ceremony for the European Young Farmer Photo Competition which aims to promote a dynamic and upbeat image of European agriculture.
The photo award is supported by the Future of Rural Energy in Europe (FREE) initiative.
