Findings of the Mission of German Agriforest Privatization Agency (BVVG) in the Ministry of Agriculture and its subordinate institutions National Land Service and State Land Survey Institute from September 23rd -25th, 2009. At the end of 2009 Van Hall Larenstein (part of Wageningen UR), University of Applied Sciences has prepared a Lithuanian Land Fund Study - “Evaluation Study on the Impact of the Land Fund on the Activity “Land Consolidation” under the Measure “Infrastructure Related to the Development and Adaptation of Agriculture and Forestry” of the Rural Development Programme of Lithuania for 2007-2013”. F:ACTS! It is undeniable that climate change causes dramatic weather conditions, causing floods, droughts or forest fires. F:ACTS! works on making vulnerable areas more resilient to deal with and recover from problems caused by climate change. F:ACTS! is a INTERREG IVC project that was started on 1 January 2010 and finished on 31 December 2012. F:ACTS! is focused on risk prone areas that lack resilience to respond to and recover from extreme weather conditions, due to climate change. At the beginning of the project, an overview was made of how the F:ACTS! partners are already adapting to climate change through territorial strategies. Exchange of knowledge between partners (14 partner organisations from 8 different countries) is very important in this project. This happens in workshops during partner meetings and coaching visits between partners. The project also works with 5 pilot projects (Carrio (Galicia) Spain, Strofylia (Achaia) Western Greece, De Wijers (Limburg) Belgium, Baixo Vouga Lagunar (Aveiro) Portugal and Varna (Severoiztochen) Bulgaria). These pilots are all areas facing droughts, floods or forest fires. Partners are looking for solutions for these specific areas, which will serve as examples for areas in Europe facing similar problems. The solutions found will be shared so that they can be implemented all over Europe. A major part of F:ACTS! is the exchange of knowledge between partners and the opportunity to learn from the experience from other F:ACTS! partners. In order to do that, various activities such as study visits, thematic workshops during partner meetings and internships are organised. The project is strongly action oriented, so all learnings and outcomes from exchange activities are used in real pilot projects , which have the direct support of international coaching teams from all partners. The common objective is to deliver lessons in the following three principles for all 14 partners: F:ACTS!

FUTURE APPROACHES TO LAND DEVELOPMENT Since July 2005 till December 2007 National Land Service under the Ministry of Agriculture took part in the EU INTERREG IIIC WEST programme project „Future Approaches to Land Development“ (FARLAND). Dutch Government Service for Land and Water Management (DLG) was leading the project, where 7 public authorities and 4 research institutions from 7 countries across Europe took part.
FAO TCP PROJECT The technical cooperation project (TCP) “Support to the preparation of an operational land consolidation system”, which was implemented by The Government, represented by the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Land Service under the Ministry of Agriculture, together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), was started in April, 2006 and lasted until June, 2007. Its main expected outputs were to development of a framework and strategy for an operational land consolidation system to support rural development and capacity building in land consolidation.
