Project background:
Sustainable rural development is a key contributor to food security and is essential for improving nutrition and life quality. The demand for traditional agricultural and food products is increasing both from the people in the region and from visitors. That is an indicator of consumer’s preferences for authentic and quality food linked to a particular region or country and creates the potential for development of niche markets for promoting rural economy, increasing farmers’ income and creating opportunities to maintain the population in less favored or remote areas.
With the multiple aim to provide guidance for the development and implementation of new origin-based quality schemes, such as geographical indications, to promote and support the production and preservation of traditional agricultural and food products, to contribute to rural development and to diversify the available food, FAO launched in 2007 the Programme on Quality Linked to Geographical Origin (www.foodquality-origin.org).
