The DINAMIC DANUBE project represents a strategic partnership of 13 organizations, combining academic expertise and business support capabilities to jointly address the complex socio-economic challenges facing rural areas in the Danube Region. The primary focus is on mitigating the depopulation trend that threatens the region’s economic backbone – small family farms, which are the main target group of this proposal- by strenghtening their capacities through lifelong learning, mentorship and technology introduction. The contemporary challenges confronting small family farms, particularly in the Southeast Danube Region, underscore the pressing need for targeted interventions to strenghten their sustainability, competitiveness, and resilience. Key obstacles such as skilled workforce migration, an aging population, lack of modern technological adoption, and weak business support ecosystems pose significant barriers that DINAMIC DANUBE aims to overcome.
