LAG strategy

Key Themes of LAG Strategy

  • Climate Change & Environmental Sustainability
    Focusing on green transitions, resource efficiency, and strengthening resilience in local communities and ecosystems.
  • Support to Rural Businesses
    Enhancing economic viability of SMEs, farms, and micro-enterprises across the region to stimulate local job creation.
  • Smart Villages
    Building digital infrastructure and local services to improve quality of life and connectivity in less-populated areas.
  • Rural Tourism
    Developing sustainable tourism initiatives that leverage the region’s alpine and cultural assets while minimizing ecological impact.
  • Rural Innovation (non-agricultural)
    Encouraging innovative practices in sectors beyond agriculture—such as creative industries, tech, and local service provision.
  • Cooperation
    Promoting inter-municipal, trans-regional, and (possible) cross-border partnerships to maximize impact and build networks.
