agroBRIDGES aims to build bridges between producers and consumers, empowering farmers with practical knowledge and support to rebalance their market position via new business and marketing models based on Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs). To this end, agroBRIDGES has developed an innovative multi-actor framework, bringing together a wide range of agri-food stakeholders and practical support tools to better connect producers and consumers. The project will foster sustainable business and marketing models based on SFSCs with fewer intermediaries and an improved market position for local producers. As a step forward from traditional support tools that rely mainly on facilitating communication and event organisation, the novelty of agroBRIDGES is based on implementing meaningful ICT-based tools and resources for producers that can be easily used in practice to set up and run SFSCs. The tools have been developed for different user groups such as producers, consumers, public bodies, the local agri-food industry, and distributors. The agroBRIDGES Toolbox includes IT type tools, communication tools, training programme type tools and event related tools as follows.

Spiritual forests and forest kindergartens
This factsheet explores how managing forests to be used as spiritual forests and forest kindergartens could benefit both the forest and the forest owner. The core impact of the case study is to raise awareness of the importance of cultural ecosystem services and to motivate forest actors to manage forests appropriately.
Forests for water in Catalonia
This innovation case is strengthening the link between forests and water with the overall aim of diversifying financing sources for forest management by integrating ecosystem service provision into the economic balance sheet. Work includes integration in the Urban Masterplan for the Rialb Reservoir where different local stakeholders (economic, tourism, water and others) are already working together. The aim is for written recognition in a legal document of the role of forestry in water and landscape conservation, and the recognition of forestry as a potentially relevant economic activity in the area that can be promoted along with tourism. The innovation action also works with the public Segre-Rialb Consortium to assess the suitability of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in relation to water in the area.
Understanding the health functions of peri-urban forests in protected areas and payment for ecosystem services
This innovation action will provide a unique and innovative way of evaluating health as a component of forest ecosystem services. The goal is to develop several scenarios for payments of those services, as well as empower future management of the protected area. It may also allow some programmes to be launched in cooperation with health institutions on activities related to human health and rehabilitation. In parallel, the case will raise public awareness about forest ecosystem services in order to increase uptake, and so that all stakeholders and park visitors recognise the benefits of forests for their health.
