We are excited to announce that AREPO Quality, the European federation of Origin Wines (EFOW) and oriGIn, the Organization for an international Geographical Indications network are jointly organising a conferenceโฏ to officially launch the GI SMART Community Platform, a Europe-wide initiative connecting stakeholders committed to the sustainability of Geographical Indications (GIs).
The event will provide GI producers with a platform to share experiences, challenges, and opportunities, ensuring their voices shape future research and policies. A key aim of the conference is to contribute to shaping theโฏ EU Action Plan for GIsโฏ by bringing forward the practical challenges and expectations of GI producers.
The conference will also explore the role of GIs as a successful tool for sustainable rural development and as an attractive, competitive model for farmers and producers. By showcasing the economic, cultural, and societal value of GIs, it will emphasise why producers decide to embark on the GI path and the added value they bring to local communities and beyond.
