The implementation of supra-regional Task Forces continues to advance. Task Forces are groups of stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, such as farmers, ranchers, foresters, agri-food or forestry industries, public or private R&D and development training and advisory centers, technology centers, or non-profit institutions, among others, who join forces to solve a problem or seize an opportunity with an innovative and multisectoral approach. Task Forces are key elements in the development of the European Innovation Partnership for Productive and Sustainable Agriculture (EIP-AGRI/EIP-AGRI).

As we announced on our Twitter profile last week ( http://bit.ly/2rGRFbp ), the provisional resolution proposal ( http://bit.ly/2tEdFzQ ) for the granting of subsidies for the creation of supra-regional operational groups within the framework of the National Rural Development Programme (PNDR) has been published. The proposed subsidies are 53% co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), within submeasure 16.1 of the PNDR.
