‘Social farming’ and ‘Green Care’ farms have been growing in experience around Europe during recent CAP programming periods. Belgium’s Walloon region is one area that is developing a critical mass of holistic expertise in this socio-economic and environmental field.
A series of seven new videos (in French with English subtitles) have been produced through assistance from the Walloon Rural Network and LEADER. These show how social farming in Belgium is providing multi-functional benefits supporting jobs in rural areas, through the creation of social services with environmental outcomes. You can also learn more from a Festival of Social Agriculture that is being organised on 30 April in Floreffe, Belgium.
