TYPES OF APPROACHING THE ISSUE OF LOCAL FOOD THROUGH EUROPEAN PROJECTS

Mihai Aftanache, Ioan Csosz

Abstract


Using the result of case studies and articles describing European projects in the local food or local food chain field, the article aims at synthesizing a relevant image of how a successful project in the local food field might look, and also to reveal the influence of local specificity and country culture over the types of projects that can be sustainable in different countries. The historical, social and cultural traits of the European states can be translated from a state to a group of countries; following historical periods of similar regimens, therefore illustrating the situation in a few European countries can suggest a bigger picture of the state of facts in the local food field. Supported by European funding, the various projects concerning this new approach on food have peculiarities and stand different chances of success, united in purpose, yet divided in means of attaining it.
