Press Kit for FarmErasmus Programme

Greenpeace and farmers across Europe launch the FarmErasmus programme, which allows farmers to visit host farms across Europe, exchange ideas and knowledge and gain first-hand experience with sustainable methods.

The initiative is part of “farmers2farmers” (https://farmers2farmers.org/), a platform promoting ecological farming methods practiced by innovative ecological farmers across Europe. This platform brings to life their experiences and tips, and encourages knowledge-sharing within the broad and diverse farmers’ community.

FarmErasmus is a visit programme managed by Greenpeace France in cooperation with other offices to allow farmers within the EU to spend a bit of time on a ‘host farm’ where they can study a particular aspect of ecological farming in practice. FarmErasmus is a non commercial ecological farming exchange program. It is not sponsored by the European Commission and it is not affiliated in any way to the EU Erasmus or Erasmus+ Programme.
