We had an ARC team adventure recently, travelling to the Loire-Atlantique region in north-west France. Our team came from Czech, Belgium, Ireland and France, accompanied by many more changemakers, drawn from a dozen countries.

We met amazing communities of farmers and cooks, while encountering some fascinating French organisations and processes. We learned so much  - about how land sales can happen more thoughtfully; about how ownership structures, for farms, eateries and for machinery, can be different, serving personal and community wellbeing; and about how better, broader agri-food policy can emerge in dynamic communities. 

We learned more too, as you can see below. And we'd love to keep learning, and to keep bringing some of these ideas and people, practices and processes, to other communities in rural Europe too.
