Projects & Practice

Rural Development Programme (RDP) support contributed to the revitalisation of an almost abandoned village in the small Aegean island of Nisyros.

A bakery in a small Aegean island used Rural Development Programme (RDP) support to modernise its workshop and expand its production capacity to provide high quality local products.

A family business, trading high quality instant coffee, used EAFRD support to expand its business by installing a new more efficient production line.

A leading manufacturer of conserves and jams used RDP support to increase its winter water storage capacity for use during the summer dry months.

A business network used LEADER funding to provide an alternative source of business support to rural communities through local people with relevant knowledge and contacts.

IRRIFRAME is an expert system for irrigation backed by the results of more than 50 years of research on plant/water relations and sustainable irrigation management. 

Thanks to a LEADER supported investment, a shoe repair and manufacturing enterprise constructed its own production facility benefiting from savings on rent and easier access to the market.

EAFRD funding enabled setting up a sawn timber production company in northeast Greece that employs modern equipment and contributes to the local economy by using local resources.
