Forestry and agroforestry in EU
Around Europe, there are hundreds of Operational Groups:
small projects promoted by groups of farmers, forest managers and local communities.
They all share the same goal:
advancing innovation and good practices in forestry and agroforestry sector.
However, OGs’ results struggle in crossing national borders:

With the main aim of favouring the transfer of knowledge and best practices between forestry and agroforestry experts in 9 member states.
