Welcome to the official website of the European Rural Parliament, a fast growing and unique movement, rooted in and working for the interests of the rural and islands people and communities of Europe.

The European Rural Parliament (ERP) is a long-term campaign to express the voice of rural people in Europe; and to promote self-help and action by the rural people, in partnership with civil society and governments. The ERP brings together rural players – local, regional and national – to exchange experience and agree the rural policy agenda with which to lobby government.
