(38) The LEADER approach for local development has, over a number of years, proven its utility in promoting the development of rural areas by fully taking into account the multi-sectoral needs for endogenous rural development through its bottom-up approach. LEADER should therefore be continued in the future and its application should remain compulsory for all rural development programmes. Further exploration of synergies through cooperation with local development actors in developing countries should be encouraged, with full respect for the recognition of traditional knowledge as embodied in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, with the aim to promote sustainable farming practices, compatible with the protection and improvement of the environment, soil and genetic diversity.

Recital 52
(52) Implementation of innovative projects in the context of the EIP for agricultural productivity and sustainability should ensure effective interdisciplinarity and be undertaken by operational groups bringing together farmers, researchers, advisors, businesses and other actors concerned by innovation in the agricultural sector with the aim to promote advanced sustainable farming systems, thereby minimizing the adverse environmental impact of agricultural activity, while increasing small-scale farm diversification. Cooperation with innovation networks in developing countries, which pursue similar objectives, should be encouraged, with full respect for the principles related to the protection of traditional knowledge as embodied in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. In order to ensure that results of such projects profit to the sector as a whole, their results should be disseminated.
