XAQ

Quality Food Network of the Pyrenees-Mediterranean Euroregion 

Objective

The Pyrenees-Mediterranean Euroregion comprises the regions of the Balearic Islands, Catalonia and Occitania. A considerable part of this territory has a strong tradition of producing foods distinguished by guaranteed differentiated quality, whether through their properties or specific characteristics linked to the particular geographical environment, and by having passed the strict safety and control mechanisms established by the EU to obtain PDO or PGI status. This differentiated quality can add value to agricultural production and help increase its capacity to sustain holdings and ensure sustainable rural development, the circular economy, local sales by local producers and processors and, overall, territorial balance after COVID-19.

The project's main objective is to create an innovative agrifood ecosystem at Euroregional level to facilitate the exchange of good practices among the different players involved and drive knowledge transfer, giving rise to new collaborations and innovative project ideas to address the challenges and opportunities facing products bearing quality labels.
