Our sectors

Land use and rural communities

Healthy land underpins thriving rural communities. At Ecorys, we evaluate and strengthen programmes that balance nature and livelihoods, from biodiversity initiatives that link conservation with poverty reduction to convening the European Mission Soil Week to speed up soil restoration. We also provide evidence on farm risk and policy, including weather insurance and CAP Strategic Plans. Our work turns data into practical advice for authorities and communities, enabling resilient landscapes and fair rural economies.
