MOVING was an EU Horizon 2020 project that aimed to build capacities and co-develop relevant policy frameworks across Europe to support the establishment of new or upgraded/upscaled value chains that contribute to the resilience and sustainability of mountain areas. The project engaged value chain actors, stakeholders, and policymakers in a total of 23 European mountain regions in 15 countries. This Practice Abstract focuses on the basic needs of the local stakeholders of the chestnut flour value chain within the Corsican mountains. The main issues identified were related to the technical and scientific support among the organisational actors, as well as consolidating new governance of the region.
