Successfully completed stocktaking by the IfaS

The INTERREG project AROMA (“Organisation of the regional food supply for a better nutrition”) is an innovative project of local food supply in the out-of-home catering of the Greater Region (Saarland, RLP, Luxembourg, Lorraine and Wallonia). The aim is to create a cross-border network of actors in the agri-food sector in order to promote the supply of high-quality local products. The tasks of the IfaS include a stocktaking of the agricultural supply as well as the demand for food in the community catering of the Greater Region. This analysis has recently been successfully completed and should serve as an essential basis for the further development of the project and the achievement of the project objectives. On this basis, a GIS map (on the portal of the Greater Region) as well as communication materials for various events and workshops will be created. Furthermore, this inventory supports the development of tools as well as practical actions to strengthen a cross-border food trade in the Greater Region, based on the values of regionality, quality, participation in added value and accessibility to food for as many people as possible, which are promoted by AROMA.
