Duurzame Landeljike Ontwikkeling, steunen van eerlijke, gezonde, lokale voeding
Samenwerking project tussen Unser Land en WECF leden
Unser Land is a successful cooperation of over 200 farmers, bakers, butchers, supermarkets, churches and citizen's organisations in Bavaria, Germay. Together they promote sustainable rural development. Farmers produced food products under the quality criteria of Unser Land and can then sell their products with the Unser Land label. The supermarkets, bakers and butchers give space in their shops to sell the Unser Land products. The citizen's organisations organise events to make the concept well-known with consumers.
Unser Land is a member of WECF and transfers it's knowledge to the WECF agricultural working group. 3 Training sessions have been held in 2005 and 2006, in Ukraine and Germany.
