Additional info
This Briefing is targeted firstly at Managing Authorities and other institutional actors involved in preparing the future CAP Strategic Plans and Cohesion Policy programmes. The aim here is to highlight the factors and conditions they should take into account when designing their future policies to ensure that Smart Villages strategies enable rural communities to design and implement successful local community energy projects. Special attention should be paid to programmes covering islands, mountains and sparsely populated areas where there is wind, sun water, geothermia and other valuable resources for renewable energy production. As Smart Villages strategies are, by definition, driven by rural communities themselves, this Briefing also identifies some of the key steps that local actors can take, as well as provides links to key sources of information and inspiring examples that can help them design and implement an effective ‘smart’ strategy for developing renewable energy.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- depending
- depending
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
