The initiative aims to identify and promote the areas with Natural Constraints (ANC) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as defined by the Regulation (EU 1303/2013), promoting actions based on eco-efficiency, innovation, equal opportunities, and environmental protection through activation, support and consolidation of sustainable rural practices. In this way, it will be possible to mitigate the risks of abandonment of the territory and, therefore, to reduce the risks of desertification and hydro-geological disasters, loss of biodiversity and precious rural landscapes.
