Evaluation of the funding measure ‘Creating transparency - from the shop counter to the producer’. RDP 2014-2020 of Lower Saxony and Bremen

The funding measure ‘Creating transparency - from the shop counter to the producer’ (EAFRD code 16.9) is intended to support both the cooperation and networking of different actors in rural areas and the development of a knowledge base. In this report, the first implementation period, in which from November 2016 to June 2018 a total of 43 regional educational institutions (two of them in Bremen) were funded, is examined in more detail. The focus is on the recognised regional educational institutions and their (network) activities as well as the farmers who open their business as a ‘learning place farm’.
