Special Conditions
Multi-actor mandatory ▵
Eligibility criterion — section 3
Multi-actor approach is an eligibility criterion. Proposals that fail to implement the multi-actor approach will be declared ineligible and rejected before evaluation. This requires meaningful involvement of end-users (farmers, foresters, advisors) in the consortium and throughout the project.
Portfolio balancing applies. Grants will be awarded not only in order of ranking but at least also to one project within the wool value chain (fiber animal production systems) that is the highest ranked, and one project highest ranked within other relevant value chains.
Expected Outcomes
- Farmers, rural communities, and agrifood or animal by-product value chain operators benefit from improved practices, technologies and validated tools that promote sustainability through the implementation of diversification and circularity in livestock farming systems.
- Public authorities, consumers and other actors of the value chain are provided with evidence-based information on the socio-economic-environmental impacts of diversification and circularity strategies in the livestock farming systems to support their choices.
- Tailored collective actions are implemented to support the organization of farmers, producers, rural communities and other value chain stakeholders into cooperatives, associations or community networks to enhance collaboration, resources sharing, market access, bargaining power, and sustainable development.
