It supports a mix of market-development and advisory measures (organic conversion, short supply chains, regional branding), competitive innovation grants for digital/precision farming and climate resilience, and large-scale rural infrastructure and CAP/EAFRD-backed investments. Typical recipients include research institutes, state agencies, farmer cooperatives, regional food hubs, and international partners involved in food-security policy and implementation.
