16.30: Discussion: The Farm to Fork strategy is a challenge for the gastronomy sector!
The European Green Deal sets out how to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. It maps a new, sustainable and inclusive growth strategy to boost the economy, improve people's health and quality of life, care for nature, and leave no one behind.
The Farm to Fork Strategy is a new comprehensive approach to improve European food sustainability. Even as societies become more urbanised, they want to feel closer to their food. They want food that is fresh, less processed and sustainably sourced. And the calls for shorter supply chains have intensified during the current outbreak. Consumers (households and restaurants) should be empowered to choose sustainable food and all actors in the food chain should see this as their responsibility and opportunity
16.45: Presentation of the EUREGA Action plans (PP6,PP7,PP8)
17.00: Discussion: Dedicated SME support and marketing needed for the gastronomy sector!
’Digitalisation is still an underdeveloped territory in the Gastronomy sector. Also Specific
SME support for the Gastronomy sector is needed on business support and marketing. ’Regional gastronomy should be more recognised as an important cultural asset and important part of the touristic product of a city or region. Public and private sector should work closely together on, invest in innovative branding strategies’
