| Summary: | The project like its name „Loving local values“ focused on valuing local products and food in the district of Development Centre (LAG Arenduskoda) and Kymenlaakso county in Finland, where it involved the municipalities - Kouvola, Hamina, Kotka, Miehikkälä, Pyhtöö, Lovisa, Virolahti and Iti. Related to the goals and activities the focus of the project was to enhance cooperation between people who are active in the field of local food, rural tourism and handicraft to help them design their products and services, add extra value and arrange better marketing. The main focus was on food products! We have mapped the food producers in both regions (in Estonia and Finland), started common discussions between them and planned follow-up projects. The other important focus of the project was rising awareness about local and healthy food. Local food consuming is directly connected with the awareness of consumers. Through the open food days in regions everybody could participate for example in food cooking contests an also in the topic-related seminars. |
