The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development – Examples of projects brochure

Summary:

The EAFRD holds a budget of €96.4 billion and is available for co-financing rural development projects in the 27 EU Member States. Governed by Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, the EAFRD is
focused on three main types of rural development activities. These are:

• Improving the competitiveness of agriculture and forestry;
• Supporting sustainable land management and improving the environment; and
• Encouraging diversification of the rural economy and promoting quality of life in rural areas.

This brochure has been prepared to illustrate a selection of project examples that demonstrate some of the different ways that the EAFRD is being used as a driver of rural development in Europe’s countryside.
