Distribution programs of agricultural products (e.g. milk and fruit) to specific target groups (e.g. in schools) are also implemented, and support is provided to producer organizations that support farmers in making better deals (e.g. in terms of prices) for the allocation of their products to processing undertakings and \/or markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rural Development Measures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They refer to farms and small and medium-sized enterprises located in rural areas and they help to modernize farms, increase crop competitiveness and enrich agricultural activities (e.g. investment in agro-tourism units) with the ultimate aim of creating new jobs and renewal of generations in rural areas. Rural development measures also support initiatives by local rural authorities to promote economic development, social cohesion and the revitalization of rural areas. These measures are co-financed by Member States and the EU with the European budget allocated on the basis of specific projects responding to the advantages, opportunities and challenges of the region \/ Member State concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"pl-gb27-69e4213c033a3\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-gb27-69e4213c033a3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-gb27-69e4213c033a3-0\" style=\"padding: 100px 0; \" data-stretch-type=\"full\" data-overlay=\"true\" ><div id=\"pgc-gb27-69e4213c033a3-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-gb27-69e4213c033a3-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-features panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><div style=\"text-align: left;\" data-title-color=\"#443f3f\" data-headings-color=\"#443f3f\" class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-gb27-69e4213c033a3-0-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-features so-widget-sow-features-default-fe1e2831a155-27\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-features-list sow-features-responsive\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-features-feature sow-icon-container-position-top sow-features-feature-last-row\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; width: 25%;\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-icon-container sow-container-round\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"color: #ffffff; \"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-icon-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/learnaboutcap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/blog5.png); font-size: 250px\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-features-feature sow-icon-container-position-top sow-features-feature-last-row\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; width: 25%;\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-icon-container sow-container-round\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"color: #ffffff; \"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-icon-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/learnaboutcap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/blog6.png); font-size: 250px\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-features-feature sow-icon-container-position-top sow-features-feature-last-row\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; width: 25%;\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-icon-container sow-container-round\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"color: #ffffff; \"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-icon-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/learnaboutcap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/blog7.png); font-size: 250px\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-features-feature sow-icon-container-position-top sow-features-feature-last-row\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; width: 25%;\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-icon-container sow-container-round\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"color: #ffffff; \"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-icon-image\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/learnaboutcap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/blog8.png); font-size: 250px\"><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#00e15b\">EU Quality Schemes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>EU quality policy emphasizes the high quality of European agricultural products by providing farmers and local communities with a powerful and useful tool that contributes to the preservation and development of rural areas by protecting both traditional knowledge and skills as well as the natural environment which forms the basis for the production of the products listed in the European catalogue.
