Based on the results of FUTURAL’s policy analysis (Lostrangio & Pazos-Vidal, 2025), this factsheet provides an overview of the FUTURAL Belgian Case Study, where two community-led innovations are being piloted. The factsheet explores rural innovation in Belgium, examining the governance framework and institutional and administrative structures, as well as the policy landscape in Wallonia and Flanders within the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), Cohesion Policy, and other relevant national policies. It also highlights good practices that can inspire and guide similar initiatives across Europe.
