  1. EU Interreg BSR Programme 2007-2013 projectBaltic COMPASS Comprehensive Policy Actions and Investments in Sustainable Solutions in Agriculture in the Baltic Sea Region

  2. Platform for cooperation on sustainable solutions for agriculture. Eutrophication Rural competitiveness Commitment

  3. BELARUS DENMARK ESTONIA FINLAND GERMANY LATVIA LITHUANIA POLAND RUSSIA (associated) SWEDEN REGIONAL (HELCOM) 23 authorities, institutions, and interest organizations in 9 riparian countries.

  4. Problem definition Landuse for agricultural purposes in the BSR is expected to be intensified following climate change and increasing global demands for food and bioenergy. • Conflicting interests between agriculture and environmental sectors, unshared problem definitions, east-west/north-south divide and availability of solutions

  5. Authorities, interest organisations and entrepreneurs with influence on landuse who seeks decision support Two instrument drivers of change in the BSR: an adaptive policy environment and an enabling environment for investment. For whom?
