Abstract:
This publication aims to showcase successful examples from a diverse range of EU countries where a transition towards agroecological approaches is already happening. It gives clear indications for the priorities governments should have if they are serious about making good use of public money to support this transition.
These cases are only a few from the many diverse approaches and practices already happening across the EU. Over the coming years civil society groups will continue to observe the CAP implementation and development by collecting further best practice examples, but also by highlighting failures of agro-industrial models to actively support a successful transformation.
