Consumers are increasingly choosing organic products, but also products sourced locally. Local organic products reduce food miles and help lower CO₂ emissions. At the same time, they support the local economy.
During this presentation, we will provide several concrete examples of products that are both local and organic. We will also offer practical tips on how to build sustainable partnerships with local organic farmers.
Target audience: organic shops and wholesalers wishing to distribute regional organic products, food companies looking to source ingredients locally, and organic farmers seeking to market their products within their own region.
"Eat local, think global."
