Associated Partners (AP) play an essential role in ORGANIC ECOSYSTEM. They are experts in their fields and major team players in the MED Organic and Agro scenario.

They contribute to the project bringing their know-how to the table, facilitating meetings and connections, and escalating cross-border cooperation among stakeholders and target groups. 

Without their support and collaboration, the reach of the project will be much lower than having them by our side. They strengthen, amplify, and escalate the project reach and stakeholders engagement.
