Rural-urban linkages

A new EU-funded project – RURBANIVE – will work between 2024 and 2027 to establish a novel rural-urban innovation framework, supported by technical and social innovations in order to enhance territorial governance and existing policy tools.

The European Economic and Social Committee's (EESC) Section for Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment (NAT) has adopted two opinions, in line with the long-term vision for EU’s rural areas: one on the role of youth in rural development and one on the impact of high energy prices on the agricultural sector and rural areas.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has released a paper that explores the potential synergies between agricultural and rural policies.
