ILEIA verlegt aandacht naar Family Farming en presenteert nieuw Magazine: Farming Matters

Last Tuesday I visited the 25th anniversary of ILEIA, which they celebrated with a conference in The Hague. Edth van Walsum, presented a new focus for ILEIA: More social and economic (so less focus on agricultural production technology), more policy change oriented (instead of internal networking amongst like minded professionals) and with a focus on family farming. Furthermore, Mrs. Van Walsum told the audience that more and more the international edition is filled with articles generated in the 9 regional editions.
In the end of the day, ILEIA presented the nee lay out and set-up of it's magazine, which is from now on: Farming Matters.
