The Scottish Rural Development Programme 2014 - 2020

The Scottish Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 delivers Pillar 2 of the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). It funds economic, environmental and social measures for the benefit of rural Scotland. The key purpose of the SRDP 2014-2020 is to help achieve sustainable economic growth in Scotland's rural areas and the priorities remain broadly the same as the previous programme:

The main priorities are:-

Enhancing the rural economy
Supporting agricultural and forestry businesses
Protecting and improving the natural environment
Addressing the impact of climate change
Supporting rural communities

After extensive negotiations the SRDP 2014-2020 was formally approved by the European Commission on the 26th May 2015.
