‘EIP-AGRI-challenge’ videos tackle challenges in the field
Six videos showcasing innovative farms and projects from across Europe
The EU CAP Network’s Support Facility for Innovation & Knowledge Exchange | EIP-AGRI has produced six videos in the course of the last year, showcasing innovative farms and projects from across Europe. In each of the videos, a farmer or project manager is interviewed about a specific initiative that they are working on and how it helps them to overcome common challenges in agriculture, forestry and rural areas. The aim is to inspire and provide solutions to other European farmers, supporting the transition to more productive and sustainable agriculture, forestry and rural areas.
