What is our vision?

Our vision is simple:

"To drive positive change through collaboration."

The C2Network brings together a broad range of stakeholders to stimulate thinking, explore potential solutions and develop practical actions to benefit the rural sector.

Why participate in the C2Network?

To be part of an established network of around 60 co‑ops (and their ~25,000 farmer members) together with those who have a shared interest in developing the rural landscape.

To bring cross sector and innovative thinking to help address the emerging challenges for our sector.

IBioIC's Bioeconomy week is a great example of how cross-sector, innovative thinking can help to address challenges.
