Roundtable discussion: What are the main priorities for associations of agriculture, vines, fruit trees, vegetable and who represents them?

23.10.2014

D4D is continuing assisting membership organizations to improve their visibility, highlight their importance and increase the impact in decision making process. For this purpose, on 22 October, D4D organized a workshop with representatives (representing a large number) of associations dealing with agriculture, including representatives from various sectors such as cultivation of grapevines (viticulture), apiculture, beekeeping, arboriculture, green stuff, etc. During the workshop the associations came up with a number of recommendations for relevant institutions and political parties, which were also attending the workshop.

Some of the recommendations would require financial support from government and a number of recommendations would contribute to the budget in long-term. A number of recommendations were identified also for the associations and businesses themselves. D4D will continue to facilitate the process and help associations to follow-up with the recommendations addressed to decision makers.
