Context
The Rural Pact, stemming from the Long-term Vision for the EU’s Rural Areas, is a framework for cooperation between public authorities, civil society, businesses, academia and citizens, at the European, national, regional and local level aiming at the overall well-being of rural communities. This pact acknowledges the diverse needs of these areas and endeavours to create a comprehensive framework that ensures no region or citizen is left behind.
Rural areas play a crucial role in delivering essential services, such as food production, and are vital for achieving the EU’s sustainability goals. However, they continue to face specific challenges, including economic disparities, demographic shifts, and climate impacts, which necessitate a renewed focus on circular bioeconomy models to enhance resilience and foster sustainable development.
This debate, part of the #Rural Pact series, will examine these pressing issues and explore innovative strategies for leveraging circular and bioeconomy approaches to revitalize rural areas, strengthen their relationship with urban centres, a
