About the project
AGATA – Activating agricultural and tourism specializations through Center of Taste.
In general, rural areas have great tourism potential, but often lack strategy and complementary planning. Local food and wine can certainly be a means of promoting the area. For each territory, typical local products can be found: traditional food products and biologically diverse products, local wines, handmade products, etc. The AGATA project aims to create a set of tools to help people from rural areas, decision-makers and entrepreneurs to start services in an early phase that includes methodology, decision-making tools, learning materials and a strategic planning kit. The goal of this kit is to support the growth of the local agritourism economy by creating a community to support entrepreneurs, including cultivating an environment where fledgling startups can be tested, created and expanded.
Related specific objectives are:
- Create a network of local actors who can contribute to the development of the region.
- Discover the productions associated with territorial agricultural occupations focused on quality agriculture and promote the typical crops that are food and wine, thereby obtaining regional brands.
- Adapt the Center of Taste to local professions by activating specializations in the field of agriculture and tourism, which will raise the level of services for the local population.
The project is financed by the Erasmus+ program, project no. 2020-1-SK01-KA202-078207.
