Who we are

"EuropAfrica: for mutually supportive and sustainable agricultures in the North and the South of the world" is a campaign that connects African farmers’ networks and European civil society organizations to link, reflect and act together on major current issues concerning food and agricultural policies, trade and development cooperation.

The campaign was launched in 2005 in partnership with the platform of the farmers and agricultural producers of West Africa ROPPA, with the Belgian NGO CSA  (Collectif Strategies Alimentaires), and with Terre Contadine-ItaliAfrica a network of agricultural Italian civil society organisations.

In Italy, the campaign is coordinated by Terra Nuova and Centro Internazionale Crocevia. From 2008, the network has expanded to include other international partners: in Hungary, the GAIA Foundation, in the United Kingdom, the UK Food Group, in Africa EAFF (Eastern African Farmer’s Federation), and PROPAC (Regional Platform of the Farmers Organisations of Central Africa).

Our objectives:

EuropAfrica is a campaign to raise information, awareness and lobby on shered issues, among its partners, concerning how to promote small-scale family farming and local agri-food systems that bring consumers and producers closer together, prioritising local and regional markets and harmonization processes that benefit all citizens. The campaign supports the realization of food sovereignty, i.e. the right for people and communities to define their own food and agricultural policies, whether in Africa or Europe, to strengthen regional markets, promoting integration and harmonization processes that benefit all citizens.
