The main focus of the stakeholder Dialogue was on raising the awareness about the importance of the process of Reducing Agriculture’s Carbon Footprint and its effects. Some of the primary topics of discussion round tables included: Current state of the enabling environment in the Balkans in the context of carbon footprint in agriculture; and Needs and Gaps among actors in the agri-food sector in the scope of Carbonica project, followed by a special session focused on Access to finance and technical support for carbon farming.
