We invite you to retrace with us the Rural Resilience project journey in 2024.

It was quite a year. This time last year the streets of European cities were on fire. Sometimes literally, as desperate farmers fought to make their voices heard. 

Together we look back on a year that took us from rage and rollbacks to a European triangle of rural action. Along the way we share learnings and reflections from the caravan of rural resilience that made its way from west to east.

There, we found common ground: a shared space on which to build commitments to action for a living countryside.

Discover the journey here.
