Women Leading Sustainability in
Farming and Rural Areas
Discover how FLIARA showcases the innovative power of women in farming and rural areas, emphasising their pivotal role in driving environmental, economic, social, and cultural sustainability to meet EU policies.
Empowering Women and Transforming Rural Innovation
FLIARA is challenging gender norms and stereotypes, raising awareness of the true impact and economic value of women in rural economies and development. The project is developing practical tools and policy proposals to ensure women are integrated and supported within a more effective innovation ecosystem.
Women Led Innovations
200 innovative practices that contribute to a sustainable and viable rural environment identified in 10 European countries: Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Romania and Italy.
Community of Practice
Within FLIARA lies the creation of a Community of Practice. A hub of networking and training amongst innovators and relevant stakeholders to exchange ideas, experiences, and innovative knowledge, fostering future female innovations and entrepreneurship.
Foresight and Trend Analysis
FLIARA has conducted its envisioning process to predict the role of women in the innovations required for sustainable farms and rural futures across EU Member States. These visions were constructed by using an interactive foresight process that involved key stakeholders at a local level, creating a connection between their local contexts and sustainable futures.
As a result, FLIARA will combine futures and case study methods with network building and policy benchmarking. By developing visions for sustainable rural futures, FLIARA will identify the innovations needed to make them a reality.
