Innovators by Nature

Innovators by Nature is a high-level gathering of landowners, farmers, foresters, investors, policymakers, and sustainable entrepreneurs. Organised by the European Landowners’ Organization (ELO) and  Friends of the Countryside, the event creates a rare platform where nature-based solutions and on-the-ground land management expertise converge. The first edition was held in December 2025 and takes place annually since.

Our initiatives center on areas such as agricultural policy, biodiversity strategies, climate change mitigation, cultural heritage preservation, land conservation, community building and beyond. We are actively working to forge positive change.
