“Green Farming now!”

The virtual conference "Green Farming Now!" was held on February 17, 2021. It was organized by BirdLife Europe & Central Asia. Around 250 participants from 40 countries (including  STEP) took part in the conference. The conference was organized as a response to the need for changes in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) regarding the use of the CAP budget to prevent further biodiversity loss and climate change. In the last 40 years, 57% of the farmland birds have disappeared, and in just ten years the European Union has lost a third of its farms.

The conference presented proposals and recommendations from scientists, political analysts, farmers and NGOs on how to achieve the sustainable development that we all need.
