Projects & Practice

Peer-to-peer advisory services help raise biodiversity awareness among Austrian farmers.

The long-term programme of knowledge transfer in organic farming was set up to improve the competitiveness of organic farming in Estonia and increase local organic food consumption. 
 

A family farm invested in soil conservation practices to increase its capacity to store water and its microbial biomass activity.

The project took nature-friendly vine cultivation on a family farm a step further to develop zero-waste processing methods that valorise all by-products of grapes in a sustainable and fully circular way. The resulting seeds, oil and flour have proved very popular with customers.

An eco-farm implementing agri-environment-climate measures aims to foster ecosystem services and climate adaptation on-farm as well as promote wider uptake throughout the farming community.
 

Operation M10.1.19 focuses on result-oriented and focused Rural Development Programme (RDP) interventions to stabilise endangered habitats, species and plants and thus reverse the decline of biodiversity in Austria’s agricultural regions.
 

Supporting this environmentally sound and biodiversity-promoting management action is one of the most successful operations of the Austrian Agri-Environmental-Climate Scheme. 
 

An educational institution for farmers in Austria used RDP support to develop a training  programme using digital, web-based technologies and applications.

An example of a large-scale previously state owned farm, which now successfully combines economic sustainability and the provision of public goods.

A series of seminars to improve the economic performance and viability of agricultural enterprises,  by offering information and training on risk management tools.
