Book (stand-alone)Quality & Origin Programme. Training on Origin-Linked Products: Tools for a Participatory Approach 2013
Also available in:
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. -

A methodology for identifying origin‐linked products and their development potential and for carrying out inventories
2012The stakeholders and decision‐makers concerning agricultural and rural development in a given area, region or country often wonder about the existence of an agricultural and food heritage and the possibilities of developing a strategy based on the enhancement of typical products and their local resources. This means that they need tools to identify such products, carry out an inventory and evaluate their potential, in terms not only of creating economic value but also of preserving and optimizin g the cultural and environmental heritage, in order to select pilot products, thus supporting a territorial dynamic. -
DocumentIdentification of origin-linked products and their potential for development
A methodology for participatory inventories
2012As part of FAO’s Quality&Origin Programme, the present study proposes a methodological participatory approach to identifying products of origin‐linked quality to be used as levers for sustainable rural development, through the virtuous circle to which they could give rise (FAO and SINER‐GI, 2009). Quality is a collective construction, which depends on the vision of the producers themselves and on the perceptions of consumers; it is progressive and includes objective and subjective elements. The proposed approach aims to involve local actors in the identification of such potential and to provide lines of enquiry according to the characteristics identified and the available information that producers and other stakeholders can explore and confirm, depending on the strategy they decide to implement.
