International conference promoted the agri-food and forestry sectors

Abstract

The 10th Annual Conference of the ERIAFF Network was organised in Seinäjoki, Finland, on 11–13 June 2024. The theme of the conference, Regions as Changemakers for European Resilience and Sustainability, continued the promotion of regional policymakers and agri-food and forestry experts to discuss regions’ role in building resilient, sustainable and just agri-food and forestry systems in Europe. The region of North Ostrobothnia and Oamk alongside other regional organisations have been part of the ERIAFF network since 2020. The aim was to strengthen collaboration of Oamk and the North Ostrobothnia region in European-wide cooperation initiatives and to exchange information on current topics and projects. The main insights from the ERIAFF 2024 Conference are presented in this article.
