Invitation

Local and Regional Food, a project currently running in Sweden, is going to arrange an European conference in September.

It is a great honour for the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and partners to welcome you to this first European Conference on local and regional food. We hope to give you great pleasure and a lot of interesting input in your work.

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for politicians, officials and representatives from the food production and processing industries to meet and discuss the future of local food.

With this conference we also want to discuss:

The influence of EU and national policies on local food development and how to bring about changes
How to connect the producers of local food with the consumers
How to achieve profitability in local food production
What are the qualities of local food?
Why European collaboration and how can it benefit the production of local food?
What are the environmental aspects of local food production?

The working language of the conference is English
