Irrigants d'Europe- IE, in collaboration with ANBI - National Association of Consortia for the Management and Protection of Land and Irrigated Waters, CERSTE, and the Parliamentary Intergroup for Southern Development - Fragile Areas and Minor Islands, is pleased to invite you to participate in an institutional in-depth initiative dedicated to water policies and rural governance.
The meeting, entitled "Water for Food and Resilient Territories" will be held in hybrid format in Brussels on Tuesday, March 24, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at European Parliament, Spinelli Building, Room SPINELLI 1H1, participation upon registration.
The discussion will address water as a critical resource closely tied to strategic infrastructures and a driver of sustainable growth, moving beyond a sectoral approach to highlight its function as an integrated territorial management system: from agricultural irrigation and food security to soil protection, the prevention of hydrogeological instability and the protection of water resources its selves.
Particular attention will be given to enabling priorities to achieve a real water resilience as engineering and technological solutions -efficient irrigation networks, multi-purpose reservoirs, monitoring and control systems, and water reuse- as essential tools for a planned, sustainable, and measurable approach to water governance.
This round table aims to contribute to a coherent European water policy aligned with the CAP, the Green Deal, and Cohesion Policy, supporting economic growth, competitiveness, and employment—while strengthening rural areas as pillars of the Union’s productive and territorial stability.
NOTE: In-person seating is limited; please wait for confirmation from the organizer before purchasing flights or accommodations. All registered attendees will receive a link to the online streaming of the event.
