Putting best agricultural practices into work – the Baltic Deal

The project created a co-operative platform between farmers' organisations and advisory organisations around the Baltic Sea to raise the competence concerning agri-environmental practices and measures to reduce nutrient inputs into the Baltic Sea. It developed a common strategy for the Baltic Sea region to strengthen agricultural advisory services. A network of 117 demonstration farms was established and more than 90 study tours and workshops were performed on the demonstration farms with over 5000 participants, 2500 of whom were farmers.

Lead: Latvian Rural Advisory and Training Centre and Federation of Swedish Farmers (LT and SE)
