Raising awareness, understanding and interest in land consolidation is the objective of a nationwide campaign being conducted here by FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy.

Since the start of November, three public awareness workshops on land consolidation have been held, in the cities of Gostivar, Bitola and Strumica. All told, the workshops brought together about 300 farmers, agricultural landowners, representatives of local farmers’ organizations, villages and local self-governments, as well as other interested people and the media. A fourth and final regional workshop is planned for 14 November in the city of Stip.
