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. More info HERE |
