The Rural Development Program of the Community of Madrid (PDR) includes a series of measures to contribute to the objectives of the European Strategy 2020 for "intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth".

The PDR 2014-2020 has the following priorities:

Improve the viability of farms, their competitiveness and their sustainability.
Promote short circuits, quality schemes and local markets to improve the organization of the food chain.
Restore and preserve ecosystems related to agriculture and forestry.
Promote resource efficiency and a low-carbon economy.
Promote economic development in rural areas.

Who approves the PDR?

RDPs are approved by the European Commission.

The Rural Development Program of the Community of Madrid 2014/2020 (PDR-CM 2014/2020), which will mark the new rural development strategy of the Community of Madrid during that period, was approved by Decision on November 18, 2015. See more>

What does the PDR finance?

To achieve its objectives, the RDP finances operations that are grouped in measures. Each type of operation is developed by a manager. We present below a table in which you can consult all the measures and operations of the PDR and the managers responsible for each of them.

Who co-finances the PDR?

The PDR is co-financed by the European Union through the EAFRD (European Agrarian Fund for Rural Development) and, on the part of Spain, co-finance the General State Administration and the Community of Madrid.

The co-financing of the EAFRD is variable depending on the measures and the region in which it is applied. In the Community of Madrid, considered a region of competitiveness, it ranges from 53% in general to 75% and 80% of EAFRD co-financing for some operations related to the environment, climate change or innovation.

The General State Administration, through the Ministry responsible for rural development, has agreed to co-finance 30% of the national part; therefore the Community of Madrid will cover the other 70% of the national part.
