A local food system with quality products is gaining more and more interest. Consequently, sales of short-chain products are on the rise. The fact that consumers are again interested in products straight from the farmer is a positive trend. To add value to the short-chain story and make it more sustainable, it is important that the ecosystems and biodiversity of the landscape are also included in this story. By integrating Limburg's unique landscape values and biodiversity into existing and newly developed regional products, we increase the sustainability of the short chain. In this way, we create added value for Limburg regional products and Limburg can distinguish itself from other regions. To this end, we want to scale up and expand the KORTWEG NATURE principle throughout Limburg.
With this project, from the three Limburg Regional Landscapes and three Limburg Agricultural Pilot Centres, together with Farmers' Nature, we want to make full use of this by:
- Promote landscape marketing through short-chain agriculture with a return to landscape and biodiversity
- Existing local sustainable partnerships non-committal advice and scan for landscape marketing
- Launch new local sustainable partnerships towards landscape marketing
