In April 2017 a network for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) Programmes in the Baltic Sea countries was initiated. Baltic Sea Network for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (BSN–EAFRD) is initiated to facilitate and strengthen transnational cooperation in the EAFRD in order to invigorate the link between the EAFRD and the EUSBSR
Large part of the budget of EU’s Common Agricultural Policy is allocated through the Rural Development Programs. There is a big potential in increasing the cooperation and alignment between the national RDPs to reach the overarching goals of the EU’s strategy for the BSR. In an effort to facilitate transnational cooperation through the Rural development programmes, the Baltic Sea Network – for the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (BSN – EAFRD) was initiated.
