AGROPOL

Development of a European cross-border agrifood model region. The aim of this pilot project on behalve of the European Commission, DG AGRI, is to identify key factors for successful interregional agrifood cooperation boosting the regional economy. We chose a "learning by doing" study approach and co-develop 2 cross-border agrifood strategies in 2 different European areas: in the Spanish-Portuguese Euroregion EuroACE (Extremadura, Centra, Alentejo) and in the Austrian (Carinthia)-Slovenian border region. The regional stakeholders are in the front seat; we facilitate the process and provide regional development expertise, focussing on a value chain approach.
