LEADER Pays de Coutances: developing local farming and food
This LEADER action supports changes in farming practices and initiatives that strengthen local food self-sufficiency. It may involve production, processing or sales chains, approaches to preserving farmland and hedgerows, and collective actions on water quality and food waste. The catalogue mentions public and private applicants; the precise costs must be checked in the official action sheet.
In the Pays de Coutances, this action aims to support farmers and local food players as they change their practices. It covers in particular short supply chains, processing and marketing local products, protecting farmland, the agroecological quality of soils, hedgerow landscapes and reducing food waste. The project must be linked to a priority of the action sheet and a concrete benefit for the area.
