An introductory webinar on establishing an organic district on 27 March
On 27 March at 1 p.m. CET, IFOAM – Organics International will host a webinar exploring the foundations of bio-districts—how it was initiated, who are involved, what are the challenges in starting and maintaining the project?
The webinar is designed to help organic actors who want to emulate bio-districts and provide inspirations that can be implemented in their localities. Some of the topics that will be discussed are:
- How are territorial food systems such as bio-districts initiated and how are they sustained?
- How has the establishment of the bio-district changed the local economy and the social and political environment of the area?
- What are the challenges in sustaining a bio-district or similar local initiatives?
- In some areas in Spain, community building and education, especially of children, play a big part in the creation of bio-district. Why did INNER implement this approach and what are the impacts of this approach?
- How can organic actors from non-EU countries initiate an organic district?
