Improved infrastructure, especially in terms of public transport, is among the most pressing needs for rural areas. Farming is seen as the sector contributing the most to rural areas.
These are some of the key outcomes of the online public consultation on the Long-term vision for rural areas held between 7 September and 30 November 2020.
The public consultation aimed at gathering input from European citizens and stakeholders to assess what the long-term vision on rural areas should focus on. A total of 2,326 respondents from all EU Member States participated in the public consultation, providing their views on rural areas today, aspirations for the future of rural areas as well as involvement of citizens in decision making and the vision itself.
