The project has an aim to improve innovative agriculture approach in order to help unemployed people living in houses with backyards in rural settlements in the cross-border area. The project will help unemployed people to establish or upgrade their backyard farms to be more productive and cost-effective. The idea of the project is to provide knowledge and innovative technology of cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants and spices (MAPS) in order to produce high-quality final products. Adequately processed MAPS represents value-added product which is highly regarded at the market. This aim will be achieved through establishing demo plots with equipment for MAPS growing and drying at five different locations in Vojvodina. Plots will be located in relevant institutions such as agricultural schools and associations focused on economic empowerment of unemployed woman in rural areas. Schools will be the base of three incubators which will gather and unite unemployed people and other vulnerable groups. Target groups of the project include agricultural schools, associations, vulnerable groups, producers and SMEs. The project provides target groups with knowledge of growing and processing of medicinal plants, as well as Hungarian know-how on processing and placing in the market. The project supports target groups to envision their future in agricultural practice and to employ their available resources in the best possible way. Additionally, project will raise awareness of the general public and other stakeholders on the importance of giving support to vulnerable groups in rural areas. Special emphasis will be on the importance for unemployed persons to self-employ, organize their resources properly and manage resources efficiently and in line with the common agricultural policy (CAP) beyond 2020 (more canopy cover, biodiversity, vibrant rural areas, etc.). Setting demonstration plots is the core of project sustainability because in the long term it enables involved incubators to target more individuals interested in obtaining knowledge about new farming models, food production and branding.
