Why is Asaja taking part in this project?

ASAJA GRANADA is participating in this project, as it is aware that although Farming continues to be the most important sector in the rural medium it still requires a boost to promote the rural development of these areas, such as Multifunctionality.

Due to its proximity and constant contact with farmers and the Common Agricultural Policy together with its extensive experience in Community & Training Programmes in rural areas, ASAJA lends this Project the necessary know-how and experience for its coordination and ultimate success.
