Germany supports partner countries in the development of a productive and resource saving agricultural and food economy. The project contributes in particular to the efficient and sustainable development of agriculture in Ukraine through its focus on the promotion of organic production with improved product quality. Competencies and institutional structures for the advanced development of organic agriculture are being enhanced. From GOPA Group, AFC is entrusted with this project’s implementation and has also been engaged in adapted support in food safety in the current situation.
