The methodology structure
It will address applications of integrated, living-lab approach in rural development capacity building, including research and innovative actions undertaken by the members of the project, concerning agricultural and stockbreeding production, reframing of traditional occupations, enhancement of digital skills and set of digital tools to address wider market audiences and valorisation of the natural and cultural heritage in rural areas as a factor for rural development
