5 AND 6 MAY - DEAL project

 5 AND 6 MAY
NEW FOREST DISTRICT COUNCIL
Final event of the European project DEAL
About this event
We are very pleased to invite you to the final conference of the European project
DEAL, whose objective is to promote sustainable local food.
During the past three years, English and French partners of the DEAL project
(Promoting Economic Development through Local Food) have implemented many
actions in ordre to promote short food supply chains.
The conference will focus on the outcomes of the project, with two round tables
where partners will talk about their experience in the project and about all the
work they did locally. We will also have the chance to visit several businesses that
are part of the New Forest District Council’s plan to promote local food.
Partners of the project are French and English local authorities, charities, and
training organisations, all commited to promoting sustainable local food.
This event will be an opportunity to learn from the achievements of the DEAL
project, to find out new tools, and share your own project ideas to develop local
food systems.
We hope to see you soon !
