What are Supra-regional Operational Groups?
Operational Groups, the main actors in the implementation of the EIP-Agri (European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability), are one of the key tools within the Strategic Plan of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2023-2027 to modernise agriculture and rural areas, promoting and sharing knowledge, innovation and digitisation in agricultural and rural areas. These groups consist of a combination of actors with different profiles but common interests, such as farmers, livestock producers, companies, research centres, training, and outreach institutions, who join together to launch an innovative project aimed at providing a collaborative, multisectoral response to a specific problem or need.
