Book (stand-alone)Proceedings of the Third regional consultation on geographical indications in Europe and Central Asia 2023
Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (stand-alone)Promotion of geographical indication products: Learning from international experiences 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The Promotion of Geographical Indication Products examines the importance and potential of geographical indication (GI) in Central Asia, drawing insights from global experiences in promoting GI products. It includes successful case studies and provides recommendations for Kyrgyzstan. The document aims to illustrate a number of good practices in the promotion of GIs and appellation of origin (AO) products by showing the quality and other positive impacts of geographical indication (GI) value chains. The experiences can inspire groups of producers, processors and other possible stakeholders who want to know how to promote a GI product and communicate about products that are not fully standardized. The document also shows the importance of promoting GI and AO signs, especially in countries where consumers are not familiar with the GI quality signs introduced recently.The document has four sections. The first of those introduces a number of concepts and definitions related to GI system implementation. It also discusses the ways in which the state can assist with the promotion of GIs. The second section addresses different aspects of GI product promotion, the roles of different players, in particular producer organizations – or geographical indication managing organizations (GIMOs). Part 3 presents good international practices in the field of communication and promotion of GIs, in the hope that the actions, ideas and events might inspire GI producers in Central Asia. The last section offers a number of recommendations to public authorities, value-chain operators, and development agencies. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetUsing geographical indications to improve sustainability
Lessons learned from 15 years of FAO work on geographical indications
2023Since 2007, FAO has been applying a comprehensive approach to support its Members in the development of sustainable geographical indications, with the scope of its work ranging from local value chains to national institutional frameworks. Based on the lessons learned from technical assistance projects, consultations with stakeholders across the globe and scientific expertise, FAO has identified a number of best practices to ensure that geographical indications contribute to the development of sustainable food systems. This policy guidance brief highlights the importance of endogenous projects that put local producers at the centre of geographical indication processes (with support from public authorities and experts), as well as of specifications that promote the preservation of local resources. The brief advocates an approach that requires public institutions to play an important, possibly new role in the development of geographical indications, and provides helpful recommendations to this end.
