Development of local food self-sufficiency is one of the main programmes in the Heart of Slovenia since it is a great way to access fresh food as well as to increase income, create new jobs and new entrepreneurial opportunities which local self-sufficiency offers.
The Development Centre of the Heart of Slovenia participated as a partner in the LOCFOOD project as it wished to establish an even closer contact with national policy-makers so that they would provide money for advertising as well as create tenders for the field, which would be intended for entrepreneurs and farmers as a way of encouragement and help in spreading the activities in this field.
Main project results:
- workshop with the theme of opportunities and measures for food production and processing
- regional analysis from the field of local food production and processing in relation to small and medium-sized companies
- catalogue of good practices with a collection of references.
- LOCFOOD Brochure in the Slovenian language
This project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund and made possible by the INTERREG IVC programme.
