Baltic Farmers Forum on Environment (BFFE)

Baltic Farmers Forum on Environment (BFFE) was launched in 1999 as an initiative from the Nordic Farmers Council. Presidents of farmers unions met in the island of Gotland, Sweden and signed a declaration under the auspices of the Swedish Environmental minister.

The purpose is to strengthen the environmental work among farmers organisations and to represent farmers around the Baltic Sea as observers in Helcom. Farmers unions in each of the eight countries are members of BFFE.
