Our mission

We are an independent network with a critical but in the end positive outlook on Europe, through which we feed the debate and develop solutions to come to more effective and integrated European policies, aimed at achieving sustainable agriculture, food production and consumption; sustainable management of natural resources and durable vitality of rural areas and communities in conjunction with urban development and communities.

Samuel Féret

 

President of Groupe de Bruges


The new Common Agricultural Policy has entered its implementation phase and yet, the debate on next CAP reform after 2020 has already started. In that context, experience has shown that debate of ideas plays an important role before policy talks start. Better food, farming and rural policies are needed since the nexus between food security, climate change, biodiversity and farmers livelihoods challenges is continually evolving. Definitively, our role as Groupe de Bruges is to move beyond national interests to think and to act europeanly.
