FLIARA - Female-Led Innovation in Agriculture and Rural Areas

2023 - 2025

The project is on a mission to create a more sustainable future by highlighting the role of women in agriculture and rural areas. FLIARA will boost understanding of the needs and challenges facing women leading innovative environmental and rural development practices in 10 EU countries (Spain, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Germany).

The project also aims to create a Community of Practice with 20 innovation Ambassadors at the center. The CoP comes together at 4 in person events, as well as online, supporting women innovators and stakeholders to interact and learn together. Additionally, the project has a consistent research component, feeding into public policy recommendations to better support women innovators in agriculture and rural areas.

ECOLISE role at FLIARA is coordinated by Anastasia Oprea.
