The 7th NRNs’ Meeting brought agricultural advisory service representatives together with Network Support Units (NSUs) and Managing Authorities in the Azores (Portugal), 15-17 March 2017. Participants discussed ways to improve links between rural networks and advisors in order to better support farmers and project beneficiaries.

The event also saw an exchange on networks’ various thematic work outputs, how these reflect realities on the ground and how they can be used to improve project implementation. Participants further reflected on ways in which NSUs can best support the implementation of the Cork 2.0 Declaration.
