FARMWELL Finale

The final conference of the FARMWELL Project took place in mid-December in an old brewery in Leuven, Belgium.  The Project Management Team (E40) developed an innovative approach to conference delivery, which included a farm visit, experience of a wellbeing training workshop, and bringing farmers and other stakeholders from each partner country to participate in the conference, providing a direct link between conference discussion and on-the-ground experience.  The Conference explored challenges, outcomes and potential solutions in implementing social innovations for improving farmer wellbeing in six EU Member States.  Activities also involved a poster session, a live performance by a professional actor,  and ‘teaser’ presentations leading up to a ‘world café’ style event focusing on policy recommendations.  This ‘blog’ presents a brief overview of the final event, in words and images.
