Agriculture sustains its high economic and social value for the Black Sea countries. However, its development has been seriously challenged by insufficient sustainability, poor adaptation to climate change, underutilization of the regional resources and of the enlarging marketing niche for organic produce. A marked improvement can occur when the main stakeholders in the agricultural sector – farmers, cooperatives, business support organizations, interest groups – joint forces to establish the philosophy and practice of climate-smart agriculture in the region. Accordingly, AGREEN project aims to build capacities for networking and transnational knowledge transfer of the development of clime-smart agriculture in the Black Sea Basin, in view of increasing the trade opportunities, economic and social performance of the sector as a development driver in the Black Sea Basin. It pools the efforts of higher education institutions who lead in applied research for agriculture and agri-business – Dobrudzha Agrarian and Business School (BG), Ovidius University of Constanta (RO), Tekirdag Namik Kemal University (TR), International Centre for Agribusiness Research and Education (AR), a business support organization – ELKANA (GE) and a sectoral agency - ANATOLIKI S.A.- ORGANISATION FOR LOCAL DEVELOPMENT (EL). The complementary expertise and target-group outreach of AGREEN partners is to guarantee the achievement of the project targets and the delivery of sustainable outcomes, which include:*a community of practice (COP) and Alliance of organizations for regional branding, internet connectivity and learning in climate-smart agriculture; *regional brand for agricultural products originating in the Black Sea Basin and produced in a climate-smart way; *interactive map of logistic centres for wholesale and retail trade in sustainably delivered agricultural produce from the BSB; *climate-smart crop models, adapted to the environmental, social and economic conditions in the BSB region; *Internet Platform for liaising sustainable producers; *Integrative blended mobility training “Entrepreneurship for Climate-smart Agriculture in the BSB; *3 international business conferences on climate-smart agriculture. In this way, AGREEN contributes to the increase of cross-border links for trade and modernization of agricultural and connected sectors in the Black Sea Basin - priority 1.2 of the JOP BSB. The outputs shall bring benefits to farmers and the enterprises in agriculture, young farmers and professionals in particular, business sectoral organizations, interest groups (NGOs), higher education and research institutions. The transnational cooperation has a high added value since it mobilizes the capacity of the regional actors and leads to tailor-made solutions, economic and social viability in agriculture. (English)
