Background

The CAP reform of the tobacco sector aims at phasing out the product support for tobacco. Therefore it is necessary to develop sustainable alternative sources of income and economic activity, especially in areas with a great dependency on tobacco growing. The European seminar intends to bring together tobacco cooperatives, researchers and potential business partners.

The European seminar is supported by the European Commission within the 6th Framework Programme under project SSPE-CT-2006-022739 DIVTOB.

Sixth Framework Programme:
Priority: Area 8.1: Policy related research. Priority title: Tools and assessment methods for sustainable agriculture and forestry management (Task 3)
