Access To Land
Explore our past webinars that have delved into the critical issue of access to land as a cornerstone for the European transition towards agroecological farming. Each session in this series offered valuable insights and practical tools to help organizations and individuals engage effectively with decision-makers, build coalitions, and advocate for fairer land policies across Europe.
These webinars brought together experts and practitioners who shared their experiences on influencing public policy, forming transnational partnerships, and developing communication strategies that resonate with diverse audiences—from citizens to elected representatives. The series was designed as a hands-on learning experience, equipping participants to actively campaign for better access to land in the lead-up to the EU elections in 2024.
The first webinar was about Eurosite a network with the mission to develop a strong community of European land conservation practitioners by helping them to network and exchange experience on the protection, restoration and stewardship of nature.
To advocate for more land for agroecological farming the two networks exchanged in this first broader webinar.
Eurosite Network, a leader in European nature conservation, and the Access to Land Network are collaborating to promote sustainable land use and biodiversity. By combining their expertise, they aim to strengthen efforts in securing land for agroecological farming and advocate for policies supporting ecological resilience. This partnership was the focus of their first joint webinar.
This video provides an insightful look into how France regulates rural land sales, featuring the work of Safer. It explores the history of land regulations, the shift from preemption rights to share deals, and the role of stakeholders in managing agricultural land. The discussion also touches on the broader context of land access issues in Europe and the activities of the Access to Land Network, highlighting the importance of political will and social movements in addressing land concentration and ensuring sustainable land use. It was filmed at a training within the framework of the UpSOL Project 2024
