Baltic Compass is a project where the 22 partners from all the 9 riparian countries share their practical and scientific knowledge about agriculture and the environment. Baltic Compass operates as a regional platform where participants and stakeholders can develop more efficient agro-environmental policies, share innovations and best practices, create scientific scenarios and facilitate investments. Baltic Compass fosters win-win solutions for agriculture and environment and this led to more sustainable rural economies.
