This book investigates the complex challenges and potential strategies for fostering agricultural development in Europe's less-favoured regions. It examines the unique economic, social, and environmental factors that hinder progress in these areas. The work draws upon data and analysis from the Economic Commission for Europe to present a comprehensive overview of the issues and propose policy recommendations.
