Et nettverk av partnere i mange land
Intensjonen bak merkevaren GEOfood er å lage et nettverk av partnere i mange land innen UNESCO sitt Globale Geopark nettverk med mål om å påvirke lokal, regional og nasjonal politikk mot innovative matsystemer og områdeplanlegging som kan styrke linken mellom det urbane og det landlige.
Vi tror at geoparker spiller en viktig rolle med å knytte sammen det landlige og det urbane, samt samarbeide med innbyggere og lokalsamfunn. GEOfood vil støtte områdene Arouca UNESCO Estrela UNESCO for å styrke denne forbindelsen og gi dem et verktøy som kan Global Geopark GLOBAL GEOPARK styrke den lokale økonomien. PORTUGAL PORTUGAL
