Baltic COMPASS project has been successful in demonstrating the importance and testing different platforms for agri-environmental dialogue on challenges and solutions across the Baltic Sea Region. One of the conclusions from Baltic COMPASS stakeholder activities underscores the importance of bottom-up activities and cross-sector collaboration on the local scale. On this basis, Baltic COMPASS developed a conceptual strategy to be further tested within the Baltic Sea Region. The strategy envisions integration of both traditional top-down and proactive bottom-up approaches to planning and implementing agri-environment measures. This approach, complemented with involvement of the business and banking sectors can improve the efficiency of public budgets and provide an impetus for closer cross-sector collaboration. The existing environmental legislation and environmental objectives would serve as the background framework. The activities in the proposed extension stage project are carried out within this conceptual frame supported by strategic dialogue with the countries. As conditions vary greatly across the BSR and across different production types, results of Baltic COMPASS overall are utilized and advanced in the stakeholder dialogue. In terms of specific concrete measures, the extension stage features introduction and testing of a bottom-up management support approach on the local level as an element exemplifying the strategic approach. In parallel, investments to demonstrate conversion to advanced technical solutions related to biogas and drainage management will be implemented. These investment projects provide a concrete setting for critical review and dialogue of both past policy failures and the opportunities with more advanced agri-environment technologies, that will benefit both the agricultural sector and the environment.
