LEADER Auxois Morvan: professionalising local production and short supply chains
Action sheet no. 3 of the Auxois Morvan LEADER programme aims to map local production, professionalise producers and make it easier to use local products every day. It cites in particular feasibility studies, farm drive-throughs, mobile shops, connected lockers and equipment for school and public catering. The action sheet sets out cost exclusions and distinguishes farming applicants from others: check the applicable category before applying.
In the Auxois Morvan, this action promotes local know-how and local production by strengthening quality, marketing and outlets. It can support studies on local resources, coordinating the Territorial Food Project, promotional tools, innovative forms of retail or introducing local products into school and public catering. The project must specify the producers concerned, the target outlet and the expected benefits.

Who can apply
The action sheet mentions local authorities, public bodies, associations, public interest groupings (GIP), chambers of commerce and trades, tourist offices, rural territorial and economic poles (PETR), joint syndicates, cooperatives, groups and small businesses. For the professionalisation strand, the action sheet indicates that applicants with a farming activity fall instead under the corresponding CAP Strategic Plan (PSN) scheme: have the right channel confirmed before applying.
Eligibility conditions
The project must be located within the Auxois Morvan area and fall under action sheet no. 3. It must contribute to promoting local production, short supply chains or their integration into school and public catering. Costs must respect the rules’ exclusions, and farming applicants must check how the scheme fits with PSN schemes.
