Development of local economies in the Zenica–Doboj Canton

The project aims at fostering local economic development, supporting local agricultural and hand-crafted production. Besides this, the project is focused on developing a strong local food culture through educational programs, networking opportunities and increased availability of locally grown food.

Activities:

  • Production of small plants and seeding of the first new varieties, and distribution among selected farmers;
  • Setting up a selling point;
