ADE was in Brussels on May 28 to present the Pilot Project for an EU Observatory on Agricultural Land, Control and Access to Farmland to the Expert Group on Farmland. This DG AGRI advisory group brings together Member States and stakeholders with expertise on farmland regulations, access to land access, and land market.

Commissioned by DG AGRI of the European Commission, the project is building the analytical basis for a potential future EU Observatory on Farmland. It aims to strengthen transparency and cooperation in areas such as land transactions, transfers of land use rights, price trends, land use change, and the broader challenges related to access to farmland.

Together with ÖIR GmbH and Prof. Liesbet Vranken, ADE is pleased to contribute to this important work through the implementation of the Pilot Project for an EU Observatory on Agricultural Land, Control and Access to Farmland.
