Small Producers at the Crossroads
Topic outline
Introduction to Course
Small food producers are at a crossroads (environmentally, societally and economically) and their choices at this crossroads will affect their resilience. This course explores how we can build bridges between different actors (citizens, public authorities, NGOs and organizations working with local solidarity partnerships and community supported agriculture) in our food systems.
Let's first take a look at one of the ways in which local producers and their communities come together to overcome obstacles in local procurement and exclusive, expensive certification programmes: Participatory Guarantee Systems!
