From Seeds of Innovation to Voices of Change: Rural Women Shaping Romania’s Future The event “From Innovation to Political Action – The Voice of Rural Women”, organised within the European project FLIARA (Female-Led Innovation in Agriculture and Rural Areas), brought together innovative rural women from across Romania, representatives of public administration, civil society organisations, and members of the Romanian Parliament for a dialogue on shaping a more sustainable and inclusive rural future.

In Saschiz, rural women turned innovation into political action 🌾

Through dialogue, solidarity, and leadership, they’re shaping a fairer, more sustainable rural Romania.

After the #RuralPactConference2025, we’re reminded that real rural change starts from the ground up, with communities shaping their own future.

Housing and Food: Communities and local-governments driving fair sustainability transitions - ECOLISE Europe’s long-term wellbeing depends on fair and locally-driven sustainability transitions. Housing and food, our most basic human needs and the two largest household expenses, are powerful entry points for change. Yet, solutions to Europe’s housing and food challenges need to go beyond affordability to ensure sustainability and fairness amid mounting climate and geopolitical pressures.

🏡🥦 How can housing & food drive Europe’s fair sustainability transitions?
Join the EU Policy Dialogue Series on 6 Nov, EESC Brussels and Livestream.
