The 3rd European Rural Parliament will be held 18 to 21 October 2017 in the village of Venhorst in the Netherlands. It will include a day of field visits in North Brabant region, which is not only truly rural but also remarkable for its high-tech agro-food and other industries. This will be followed by two days of working groups and plenary sessions, in order to bring together the outputs from the series of working groups and to enable an updated debate about the state of rural areas in the wider Europe and the policy challenges and opportunities which must be faced in the coming decade.
