| Background |
The Lubelskie Voivodeship is a typically agricultural region considered among the most economically underdeveloped ones in Poland and in the EU with the lowest level of gross domestic product.

Inhabitants will be given an alternative source of income and should result in improved living conditions in the region and a consequent improvement of the socioeconomic situation in the region. |
