Projects & Practice

A Technical Assistance project about empowering local and regional actors to work more effectively with rural communities in order to revitalise these areas.

The project has enabled the living-lab, Josenea which is focused on organic farming, to collect bio-waste from neighbours and transform it into compost to fertilise their crops, with environmental, economic and social benefits.
 

A dairy farm in Wallonia invested in renewable energy production from manure and produced milk using a more environmental friendly process.

An educational peer-to-peer programme for farmers that are engaged into innovative practices, facilitated through participative techniques and scientific expertise.

A collaborative system of precision viticulture enabling farmers to have online real time information about the health of the vineyards and make more targeted phytosanitary interventions.

Testing the transferability of landscape management to other Natura 2000 sites.

LEADER support was used to exploit the potential of using large quantities of waste wood from landscape management as a renewable energy source.

In an area where cattle breeding is predominent, LEADER funding helped explore the potentials of producing biogas from manure produced in the farms.
