For this reason the agricultural governance is a part of the National Rural Network activities.
Assessing governance also means to pay attention to local actors (associations, LAG, professional organizations, etc.), to their role and the relationships between them and with the institutional system at all levels.
The goal of this event was to examine some crucial "nodes" of the governance and to analyse how they can affect the results of policies.
