The Baltic Deal Vision
A greener agriculture for a bluer Baltic Sea driven by knowledge and advice
Target group messages• Farmers

Why focus upon knowledge and advice?• Cost-effective and flexible – farm and farmer
specific• High acceptance within the farming community• Increased preparedness among farmers– in applying for agri-environmental measures in
the Rural Development Programs – better implementation of national and EU
regulations in the agri-environmental area• But not only ”knowledge and advice”….
• Measures, investments and policy actions, too
