 The project will assess and study the needs of women living in rural areas, who are willing to start up farming and forest activities. The main objective of the project is to support the growth of women entrepreneurs in the Agri-Food sector across Europe. This will contribute to achieving social inclusion for this group and closing the gender gap in agri-food entrepreneurship.
