2017 44p. Rural Connections - Spring 2017 As we progress through 2017, many of us are already thinking about the future programming period. Many ENRD stakeholders will have taken the opportunity in early 2017 to respond to the Commission’s public consultation on modernising and simplifying the Common Agricultural Policy. It is nevertheless crucial to continue working hard to make best use of the opportunities available from current rural development policy to deliver tangible results and benefits in our farms, rural communities and society at large. In this edition of Rural Connections, we present an overview of the work of the ENRD in continuing to strive for improved implementation of the Rural Development Programmes across Europe in the period 2014-2020. The ‘News and updates’ (pp. 4-13) include details of ENRD work on ‘revitalising rural areas through business innovation’, improving ‘farm resilience’ and ‘generational renewal’, supporting the ‘transition to the green economy’ and ‘improving LEADER/CLLD implementation’. You can also read about the latest news and updates from the European institutions, various European projects, the European Evaluation Helpdesk for Rural Development, and the EIP-AGRI Service Point. As always, we include a range of stakeholder voices in our section of ‘Rural Issues, Rural Perspectives’ (pp. 14-28) to capture some of the topics that are receiving people’s attention in the field of rural development at the moment. In this edition, we hear about the role of the farm advisor, the key place of forestry in rural development, hopes for generational renewal in agriculture, issues affecting women in rural areas, hopes for an integrated rural policy, the potential of the new European Solidarity Corps in rural areas, achieving results the CLLD way, a new rural policy for Sweden and updates from the National Rural Networks in Slovenia and Slovakia. Finally, we return to ENRD work supported by the Contact Point in the magazine’s thematic section having ‘A focus on… Social Inclusion’ (pp. 29-38). This builds on the ENRD social inclusion workshop held in February 2017 and presents an overview of social inclusion challenges in rural Europe, interviews on the inclusion of youth and of migrants and refugees, a consideration of what LEADER/CLLD can do to foster social inclusion and an interview on social innovation. At the ENRD Contact Point we will continue to support rural development stakeholders to engage in networking and exchange both on making the most of the current programmes and inputting their voice effectively into discussions around the future. As always, there is a lot to discuss and a lot for us to learn from one another. We are here to help. Magazine
