In their own words

“Farm Europe is an association that aims to stimulate thinking on rural economies in the European Union. The organisation focuses on all policy areas that impact on rural business with a strong emphasis on agriculture and food policies, particularly the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), but also food standards, the food chain, environment, energy and trade issues.”

“Farm Europe is an independent, creative and engaged voice contributing to the debate via the research of its own team, its publications and events, and the work of its members and partners. The association itself has no political orientations. Our goal is to stimulate thinking with all partners and members. Farm Europe has its own multicultural team of recognised senior experts.”
