The territory on both sides of the border is characterized by a large percentage of the unemployed population, out of which a significant number lives in rural areas. The low level of education and the prevailing older population make the existing regional disparities even higher. However, the fact that the rural population possesses excellent quality land in their yards gives the opportunity to introduce a new model of agricultural business, which aims at raising productivity and achieving self-employment. The most important target group of this project are unemployed people in rural areas and semi-rural areas on both sides of the border who own land around houses (backyards) with 500 to 1000 m2 per household. If they do agriculture, they produce only for their own needs and do not have sufficient capacities and skills to be competitive at the market. Therefore, during the project incubators will be established in three agricultural schools within each district in Vojvodina, which will be the centre for the organization of events, gathering of members and exchange of experiences. During the project, a workshop on experimental fields, round tables, two large seminars and an international conference will be organized, as well. The first seminar "Growing plants in backyards" will be held in Vrsac, Ruma and Futog, where besides theoretical knowledge, participants of the training will also receive quality seed to plant in their yards. Additionally, a seminar in Szeged will also be organized with the aim of presenting producers with the opportunity to create products and place them on the market. Farmers on both sides of the border, who will visit demonstration fields, will be encouraged to choose self-employment and furthermore become potential employers, since the project will offer them skills for becoming self-sufficient and improving their quality of life and standard of living. The long-term perspective of the project is to share and promote these results through best practices and through a website to connect these people with small markets, shops and malls, to co-operate in the region, reducing transportation cost and getting competitive with the prices.
