The Rural European Platform (REP) -
connecting grassroots with policy for sustainable rural development

REP is at the forefront of knowledge exchange and policy formulation for sustainable rural development in Europe: a development that creates added economic value at the local and regional level, protects and develops biodiversity and contributes to social cohesion.
REP is connecting knowledge and practical experience on the ground with policy development and implementation at the European and national level.
REP is the network for effective and innovative solutions by creating the right conditions for financing sustainable rural development through co-operation between the public and the private sector. REP is providing a basis for maximising the performance of public money for rural development and agriculture.
