Partnership for Sustainable Short Food Supply in Upper Ciuc region
The project aims at developing the competences needed by small farmers and food suppliers in the Upper Ciuc Region
in order to familiariarize with the Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs)
economic model and make agriculture and food provision more environementally, socially and economically sustainable.
SFSCs mainly trade fresh seasonal produce, followed by animal products and beverages. The growth is tied to changing consumer behavior, emphasizing appreciation for local food attributes like origin,
traditional methods.
The objectives of the project are:
1. Increase communication, cooperation, digital and green competence (sustainable and circular economy) of small producers, local shops and restaurant representatives in Romania, to strengthen cooperation between them, along the model of Short Food Supply Chains.
2. Build local partnerships for increased awareness of local products, in the village communities of Ciuc region on the importance of consuming local products and its impact on the local economy and small
producers.
3. Increase the opportunities for local producers to sell their products in a more efficient way.
Outcomes and results we will achieve:
1. Competence framework of small producers - that aligns with the EU goals regarding sustainability, environmental
changes, and social issues.
2. Training course for small producers, local shops and restaurants representatives to develop their communication, digital and green skills. Training material and curriculum in e-format, educational videos, in 3 languages (HU, subtitled in EN and RO),
3. A good practice video collection of SFSC initiatives from
Romania and Hungary
4. Workshops to increase awareness on consuming local products and cooperation possibilities between small farmers and local shops/restaurants representatives.
5. Practical guide and methodology to set up a SFSC logistic centre.
The learning platform developed as a result of the LEAP project will be a free open educational material, which will soon be available on the project website.
