boosting Alpine agri-food value chains

Closed

The project focuses on the valorisation of Alpine agri-food short value chain (meaning all actors involved in the production, marketing and selling of products) that provide products fully produced and processed locally. In EUSALP there are some best practices of this approach, herewith called “100% Local!” (100%L). The project considers the spreading of the latter a positive outlook and develops a transferable model to enhance its application. It uncovers the potential for entrepreneurship in the field of agri-food value chain valorisation, raises awareness on the model potential in selected case study areas and connects agri-food value chains actors with the relevant competence centres to match problems with concrete solutions Purpose of the project: - To raise awareness about the 100% Local approach and its economic, environmental and social impacts, - To develop, on the basis of good practices in the Alps, a replicable and transferable 100% Local development model to facilitate its adoption by other territories, - To provide the study areas with the tools to assess what are the essential aspects in the construction of a development model based on 100% Local and what are the gaps yet to be filled - Once gaps and problems in the area are detected, facilitate the search for solutions and skills located outside the territory of the study areas with a virtual platform based on crowdsourcing.
