The European Conservation Agriculture Federation (ECAF), in light of the LIFE+ Climagri project organizes the ‘Best Agricultural Practices: Linking Climate Change mitigation and adaptation with CAP’ workshop. LIFE+ Climagri proposes a series of Best Agricultural Practices to be implemented in accordance with the main objectives of the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and that will be presented in this event.
This workshop is jointly hosted by two Members of the European Parliament:

- MEP Ivan Jakovčić, Member of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Parliament. Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe; Croatia.
The event will focus on subjects of great interest in the development of the new CAP and will take place at a time when deliberations regarding the CAP reform are in full swing. The discussions held at this event will offer a great opportunity to voice out your opinion due to the forum, the topic and the appropriate time.
