Ministers for agriculture, gathered in Brussels for the AGRIFISH Council, will seek the adoption of the Council conclusions on the long-term vision for rural areas. The conclusions include crucial elements that aim to steer and inform upcoming political discussions on the future rural policies.

This crucial political moment comes after a long process of consultations with all stakeholders, giving them the opportunity to voice their priorities and their concerns on the future development of the EU's rural areas. The process started in 2021 with a first political discussion on the rural vision, held by the Slovenian presidency. Subsequently, a conference on the Rural Pact was organised by Sweden, and a ministerial discussion took place during the September 2023 AGRIFISH Council meeting. Last, the High-level Rural Policy Forum organised by the Spanish presidency, with the European Commission in SigĂĽenza (Spain) at the end of the same month (find highlights report of the forum for more information, available both in English and Spanish).
