Our sectors

Sustainable agriculture

Sustainable agriculture underpins food security and resilient rural economies. At Ecorys, we help governments and partners design and evaluate policies that cut environmental pressures while strengthening farm viability. Our work spans economic instruments for safer crop protection, ex ante and strategic reviews of CAP plans, climate risk management through weather insurance and Europe-wide engagement to restore soil health. By combining robust analysis with practical delivery and stakeholder outreach, we support measurable transitions in climate, biodiversity, water and soils.
