Important results from the project
Goal: "To design & anchor a proposal for tax deductions for cultivation-related services aimed at private individuals to strengthen food security" The goal has been partially met, but we have concluded that there are more effective ways to stimulate private cultivation. Results: - Increased knowledge of obstacles and conditions - Concrete proposals aimed at municipalities and the state - The proposals are anchored in cultivation organizations - Initial anchoring with municipalities and politics
