Gastroteca.cat and the Xarxa de Productes de la Terra join forces to encourage the promotion of the local agri-food sector

The Council of Barcelona, through the Trade Services Management of the Area of Economic Development, Tourism and Commerce and Prodeca (Catalan Food Promoter, a public company attached to the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food), have signed a conveni for the promotion of the Earth Products Network and the local agri-food sector through the development, management and dissemination of the portal Gastroteca.cat.

The agreement regulates the collaboration between entities with the aim of encouraging the commercialization of local agri-food products, which include the 55 unique products of the Earth Products Network that have been added to the catalog, as well as the dissemination of the thousand producers/res and processors/res of the territory that are part of its census.

Through this agreement as well the points of sale of local products are incorporated into the portal, a fact that contributes to the promotion of local consumption and, consequently, is in line with the Sustainable Development Objectives that underpin public territorial development policies.

With this new collaboration, the new Gastroteca will identify more than 2,500 Catalan producers and processors and 800 restaurants where to find local produce. These different organized agents are geolocated in the territory so that users can find which establishments, restaurants, processors or farmers who sell their products directly are closest to them.

The web, that this year has released a new brand image and has optimized its contents, it is positioned as the great showcase for local Catalan products and those who produce, sell and cook them.
