Synopsis (short abstract) The promotion of links among local stakeholders, their territories and their food products is a pathway for sustainable development in rural communities throughout the world. The success of such process, especially through a geographical indication (GI), is based on a series of factors described along the origin-linked virtuous circle: identification of potentials, qualification of the product, remuneration through marketing, reproduction of local resources and the roles of public policies. The Quality & Origin Programme of FAO and REDD have jointly developed this training material for the promotion of origin-linked quality and sustainable geographical indications in a participatory process. Based on the guide “Linking People, Places and Products”, the “Content” sheets provide with the concepts, while the “Exercise” sheets provide with participative activities. The “Trainer” sheets together with the “introduction” will guide the trainer in the preparation of a tailored training in rel ation with the 5 steps of the virtuous circle.

    Public policies can support private initiatives aiming at activating the quality virtuous circle. This support can be supplied in all the phases of the circle, either directly through financial support, or indirectly by boosting the capacity of the stakeholders or by establishing efficient rules. The stakeholders who may benefit from such support should organize themselves in such a way that all potential beneficiaries will be included in this public support.
