The Quality Mountain Products: challenge and opportunity for harnessing the potential of mountain areas

ROMONTANA, the National Association for Mountains Rural Development in Romania and its partner organizations, members of Euromontana, with the support of the National Rural Development Network (RNDR), Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development from Romania (MADR) and the Compartment for Sustainable Development (Chancellery of the Prime Minister – Government of Romania) organized “The quality mountain product: challenge and opportunity for harnessing the potential of mountain areas” international conference in Bucharest on the 20th and 21st May 2015.

This conference aimed at creating cohesion among the Romanian stakeholders interested in the quality mountain products, at promoting advocacy and at creating awareness about the problems faced in Romania, in order to find solutions.

During the conference, Ioan Agapi, Director of Mountain Farmers Federation “DORNA” presented two projects: on the one hand, “Sustainable agricultural models in the mountains of Romania” and on the other hand, “Green processing of berries”. These projects, co-financed by the Swiss-Romanian Cooperation Programme and Innovation Norway, are examples of creating a brand identity for Mountain Products in Romania (“De la Munte” and “Aroma Muntelui”).

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
