The cross-cutting theme of innovation and technology (I&T) seeks to effectively promote innovation processes and the use of technology for the benefit of agriculture, of the actors in the chains and of the territories. Because it is a cross-cutting topic, the implementation of most of the I&T actions is mainly carried out through their incorporation into the projects of the programs, with the aim of adding value in I&T.
