    The UZICKA / ZLATIBORSKA GOVEDJA PRŠUTA (HAM OF UZICE / ZLATIBOR) is a meat product, a kind of smoked beef meat, produced in the district of Zlatibor, exclusively in the Municipality of Čajetina and particularly in the village of Mačkat. It is a unique product that has a long tradition in Zlatibor. Traditionally, the smoked meat of Zlatibor is made with beef and the animals (mainly working animals) used to be 4 to 6 years old before being slaughtered so that the smoked meat gets a strong flavour . The LIVANJSKI SIR (LIVNO CHEESE) was originally a sheep cheese, often associated to the Pecorini family but for which the processing method has been inspired and copied from the Swiss Gruyère cheese. The milk is cooked up to 32°C, the rennet is added and the temperature is then increased up to 47°C. Once the curd coagulates, the cheese maker cuts it and reduces it to the size of a wheat seed. The curd and the hey are then put under press in a towel for one day. The cheese is then immerged in b rine for three days and stored for 60 days minimum on wooden board of Smreka, Jela or Bukva. The TETOVKSI KRAV (TETOVO BEAN) is a traditional bean variety which has been protected in 2006 as a PDO by the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYR of Macedonia) state Office for Intellectual Property (SOIP) by a federation of producers association based in the region of Tetovo, in the North West of FYR of Macedonia. This type of beans is well known all over the Balkans and has an important place i n the traditional culinary and food consumption habits.

    On 20 December, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and oriGIn hosted the online event, Third regional consultation on geographical indications in Europe and Central Asia. Some 111 representatives from 34 countries of geographical indications (GIs) groups, national intellectual property offices and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), other public authorities (the representatives of ministries for agriculture and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development), as well as geographical indication (GI) experts, participated in the event. A discussion paper was presented during the consultation outlining key concepts and global trends concerning GIs today. The empirical material presented in the paper was primarily built on oriGIn and FAO experiences, but also on country studies prepared for the Russian Federation, Republic of Moldova, Georgia, a group of Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan), as well as European Union countries (France, Poland, Hungary and Croatia). On behalf of oriGIn – the global alliance of GI – Massimo Vittori, Managing Director, coordinated the activities carried out by oriGIn.

    Quality Linked to Geographical Origin offers a unique view of agriculture and food products, by linking them to their geographical heritage. This means recognizing the value of their unique indigenous features that have made them important locally – their traditions and generations of improvement that have built their reputations – as well as the influence of natural factors such as soil, water and weather.

    Este Manual busca contribuir con la capacitación de los agricultores familiares, a fin de que sean actores del desarrollo de sus explotaciones y de la lechería del Norte Argentino. El trabajo evita la visión reduccionista de la extensión, donde el técnico se focaliza sólo en transmitir su mensaje, para orientarse en un enfoque sistémico, donde los técnicos y dirigentes interactúan con el productor para intervenir en los sistemas de producción “reales” y “posibles” para la zona.
