TIPI-NET - Network of initiatives for the promotion of typical products between the Alps and the Adriatic.
The purpose of this trilateral joint project is to enhance and promote, among consumers, typical high-quality products in the project area, by providing the image of a territory characterized by a strong agri-food vocation. The direct targets of the project are the agri-food quality producers of the cross-border area, but an indirect benefit will be felt also by the tourist sector and the farmhouses working in the field of rural tourism. “TIPI-NET” envisages the organization, restoration, enlargement or the extraordinary maintenance - should it be necessary - of the agricultural produce collection and sale centres that the operators of Eastern Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia and the statistical regions of Goriška and Obalno – Kraška refer to. These centres are network-connected and regulated in the management, promotion and sale of the products. Moreover, a system will be set up in order to promote and enhance the local agri-food products as well as the products of the territory, that is to say a Food Park in the Eastern Veneto. Later on this could evolve and become a rural/agri-food district of a wider area. The project will analyse the territory in terms of its agriculture, the quality products, and the rural and environmental landscape, and will carry out a feasibility study on the opportunity to set up a rural/agri-food district. With regard to information (apart from issuing press-releases, information material, etc. ) meetings, presentations and promotional initiatives will be organized.
