Connecting COnsumers and producers to REbalance farmers’ position through AmbassaDOrs trainings

Project description

Training programme in rural areas to strengthen the position of the farmer

Farmers are key players in innovative food supply chains and as suppliers for public procurement. The EU-funded COCOREADO project will apply a multi-actor method and a deep understanding of agricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS) based on ambassadorship, good practices and training. The project will encourage young people in rural areas to co-create innovative solutions that overcome obstacles for farmers, address consumer needs and improve the conditions for the sustainable public procurement of local and seasonal food. The COCOREADO Ambassador Training Program will connect young farmers, students and three EU-level youth movements, aiming to enhance the position of farmers and improve their connection with consumers. A wide range of academic and farming-related partners will be engaged in the project, taking into consideration the regional particularities.
