Events
FCS General Assemblies
Every year the FCS organise a General Assembly and Conference with visits to farming estates hosted by one of our member countries.
It is the perfect occasion to meet, exchange and share experiences with other rural landowners and entrepreneurs from all of Europe as well as members from the United States, Russia and Brazil.
During the assembly, the ELO presents the policy positions promoted to European Union decision makers. Distinguished speakers also give an insight to new developments in the rural world.
National Branches’ activities
Every year, Friends of the Countryside organises specific national activities in European countries and invites its members in the field to promote actions and publications and to increase the European family business network.
