It is our pleasure to invite you to the IFLA EUROPE 4th Webinar on Agricultural Landscapes “Challenges and opportunities offered by the new CAP for our landscapes” 15 November 2024, 13h CET.
Landscape Architects are makers and managers of places – both town and country. But also the farmers, who act daily on the quality of the environment and the rural landscape, also based on European and regional policies.
The Nature Restoration Law has sparked a heated debate on how to apply its demands within the agricultural world. Obviously, it cannot be enough to allocate 4% of the farm area to biodiversity, but more incisive actions are needed to obtain healthy, good and sustainable food in a context of environmental and landscape quality. The critical issues and imbalances caused by the application of the agro-industrial model have prompted the scientific community and civil society in recent years to ask for another way of food producing, aimed at the health of consumers and the environment (in particular, soil, groundwater and surface water, etc.), without depressing such a strategic production sector.
In this “Talk with” we want to investigate the opportunities that arise in this new framework, but also the critical issues they entail. A complex situation in which the LA can play an important role as a moderator and facilitator of virtuous processes.
