The Agricultural and Rural Inspiration Awards (ARIA) 2023 celebrate CAP-funded projects that are boosting skills for agriculture and rural areas through lifelong learning, innovation and competitiveness.   The Agricultural and Rural Inspiration Awards are an initiative of the EU CAP Network.

This year marks the 5th edition of the competition, which, since 2019, has been highlighting the most inspiring rural development projects co-funded by the EU. Experts have selected 24 projects under four thematic categories: Smart and competitive agriculture, Environmental protection, Rural stakeholder skills and Socio-economic fabric of rural areas. The colour of the images below indicates the different categories.

The popular vote is open until 1 December at 18:00 (CET time).

The winners will be announced during the award ceremony on 4 December in Brussels. The ceremony will be live-streamed via the awards page.
