Towards the creation of a global mountain label
Rome, Italy
From: 20.05.2015 to: 21.05.2015
This workshop, organized by the Mountain Partnership Secretariat and funded by the Italian government, will open up dialogue about the establishment of a labelling scheme to brand high value mountain products as a strategy to boost sustainable development in the world’s mountain regions.
The two-day workshop will bring together a select group of experienced members of the Mountain Partnership and other experts to look at how to create a mountain label along the lines of a geographical indication label. The group will discuss ways of establishing a labelling scheme to brand mountain products and to develop a strategy of implementation in one or more pilot countries, so as to benefit local producers and help them better tackle market challenges.
There will be a presentation on the Mountain Partnership and the issues relating to mountain livelihoods.
Expected outcomes of the workshop are to:
- distinguish and give visibility to mountain products
- define the label criteria
- draw up the certification scheme
- define the modalities for its application around the world.
