LEADER: acting for the environment, biodiversity and local food
The catalogue refers to a LEADER programme action sheet detailing several families of operations: environment and biodiversity, agricultural transition and food resilience, and local services. The exact area and the rules in force must be confirmed before taking any steps.
Protecting biodiversity can go hand in hand with more local food and accessible services. This action sheet brings together projects for hedge planting, ecological corridors, nature awareness, short supply chains and mobile or shared services. The project must match the priorities of the relevant LAG.
