“Farm-to-Table” Transformation Toolkit
The “Farm-to-Table” Transformation Toolkit aims to transform the way agricultural businesses operate in the city by helping boost the local economy and support local farmers. Using the “Farm-to-Table” toolkit, farmers can set up and promote agritourism businesses, which in turn enable agricultural businesses to increase their revenues and reach new customers, both visitors and residents, by eliminating mediators. Farmers will be able to engage directly with consumers, resulting in a win-win situation where consumers get fresh and high-quality products at lower prices while farmers increase their revenues. These toolkits also help farmers create physical and digital spaces to showcase their products, market and promote them, and be part of a wider ecosystem of farms that offer this type of agritourism. Moreover, the toolkit allows farmers to connect directly with restaurants and points of sale, providing them with better access to local market.
