Barriers for small-scale farmers in public food procurement
The main objectives of the COCOREADO project are to connect consumers and producers and enhance the position of the farmer in the food system. Part of the project pursues these objectives through the lens of the public procurement of food, with a goal of developing recommendations and showcasing good practices for establishing and maintaining farmer-inclusive, sustainable food procurement approaches. To this end, it is important to identify and highlight the challenges that farmers face when engaging with public customers. Most often, the discussions on how to improve public procurement do not include the farmers but instead focus only on other actors involved, such as wholesalers, procurement officers, policy-makers etc. This research is an attempt to get information as directly as possible from farmers about the barriers they have experienced.

Spiritual forests and forest kindergartens

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.
