Understanding Food Systems and Short Supply Chains – Zooming into Făgăraș

Online (Zoom), August 10, 2020, 13.00-14.15 (Romanian time, in English)

We eat every day, but we pay little attention to where our food comes from. Are the tomatoes you just bought in a supermarket coming from Spain, from a farmer in Giurgiu with big greenhouses, or from a local farmer in Făgăraș? Do commercial tomato farmers in Făgăraș still exist? And if not, why not? And what can we do so that we can assure food security at a regional level, especially during pandemic times? Through this webinar, you will be getting an introductory crash course into the different structures of food systems and regional value chains, in particular, short supply chains.
