How can you help the agricultural transition?

The Common Agricultural Policy as a partnership between society and agriculture aims to ensure a stable supply of food, safeguard farmers’ income, protect the environment and keep rural areas vibrant. However, the year 2024 is getting off to a strong start with protests by farmers all over Europe, which are linked, among others, to restrictions on nitrogen emissions, water use and pesticide bans. The additional environmental constraints imposed on European agricultural sector are linked with subsidies that are granted to farmers as long as they comply with the terms of the agricultural policy.


On these challenging times, how can we encourage farmers to meet ecological expectations? This study aims to understand the public opinion on the matter and explore how farmers would be willing to act in order to overcome these challenges.


The following survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

Data collected from this survey will be used to complement the assessment of agricultural challenges and the exploration of alternative financial schemes for environmental friendly agriculture within the framework of the Mara-Mediterra project. This anonymous survey does not collect any personally identifiable information,  ensuring strict compliance with GDPR regulations and prioritizing your privacy throughout the participation process.


Mara-Mediterra is funded through the PRIMA Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean area, which is supported by Horizon 2020, the European Union’s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Grant Agreement No 2121).

What is crowdfunding and how could it apply to the agriculture sector?
"Practice of getting a large number of people to each give small amounts of money in order to provide the finance for a project, typically using the internet" (Cambridge dictionary, 2024).

In recent years, crowdfunding platforms have emerged as powerful tools for individuals and organisations to raise funds for a wide range of projects. The agriculture sector, a cornerstone of global economies, faces evolving challenges and opportunities, including the need for innovative funding mechanisms to support sustainable practices, technological advancements, and rural development.
