The Local Action Groups (LAGs) develop rural areas by funding local projects in the common interest and supporting local enterprises. funding comes from The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EARFD), national government and local municipalities. Also private funding is needed. There are three LAGs in Northern Savo: LAG Mansikka, LAG Kalakukko and LAG Ylä-Savon Veturi. This countryside magazine inspires and gives examples of developing rural areas in Northern Savo.
