The Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for Fal Oysters was designed to protect and promote the Fal Oyster fishery by developing an added value supply chain. Unfortunately, the PDO failed to meet initial expectations and represents a useful case for learning from experience. The recommendations derived from this case are as follows: - Support Fal Oyster production as a form of environmentally sustainable production; - Protect fishers from illicit appropriation of the PDO name and related falsifications; - Encourage fishers to register for certification system via multi-stakeholder dialogue; - Foster the access of new actors in the fishery to increase generational turnover.

Strengthening European Food Chain Sustainability by Quality and Procurement Policy
This case study is drafting new legislation that allows renting forestland for multiple purposes in order to increase economic efficiency and maintain a balance between all ecosystem services. This Russian case works on regulation mechanisms so that people renting forestland can use it for multiple purposes, and to include ecosystem services in the Forest Code.
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.
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.
