Practice Note: How to stimulate short food supply chains for locally landed seafood?
In the framework of the Strength2Food project, innovation actions were implemented by Food Nation (a Social Enterprise with a vision to inspire people about good food) and Newcastle University to strengthen the development of new quality markets and short food supply chains (SFSCs) for locally landed seafood in North-East England. The pilot action involved a local restaurant, the Fish Quay, and various stakeholders within the fishing industry (fishers, fishmongers, chefs, consumers, academics, and other educational professionals). The key recommendations coming out of this pilot action are: For sector practitioners: - Focus on under-utilised, locally abundant, and seasonal fish species and promote their health benefits via social media; - Adopt market strategies to improve public perceptions and overcome consumers’ fear of unfamiliar fish and involve intermediaries like fishmongers and chefs in making seafood more attractive, palatable and convenient; - Upskill young / new entrants in the catering and hospitality industries in cooking confidently and more creatively a wider range of underutilised fish and seafood. For policy makers: - Increase public awareness of sustainable seafood consumption and seasonality issues, via educational activities and from an early age; - Support the establishment of SFSCs in fisheries and promote cultural heritage of seafood in coastal communities, while investing in infrastructure that support market operations; - Promote codes of practice that support sustainable fishing and retailing and encourage better working practices for seafood businesses and the restaurant/ catering sector.

Club GREY HORSE – Providing multiple ecosystems services by forest renters
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.
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.
