Local sustainable self-sufficiency is an important topic for Slovenia as well as for Switzerland as it has potential for numerous sustainable opportunities. In the future, self-sufficiency in food, water, energy and people will become ever more important, which people in the area of the Heart of Slovenia as well as in the area of our Swiss partner organisation are well aware of. In the Local Products project, the Development Centre of the Heart of Slovenia collaborated with the organisation Alpinavera from Switzerland.
The main purpose of the project is to develop and improve local marketplaces in the Heart of Slovenia. Indirectly, we wish to raise the quality of life in the Heart of Slovenia, to increase the share of local self-sufficiency, the income of the manufacturers of local products, and to influence the rural policy.
