SuperGREENLABELFoods “Harmonization & Certification of Superfoods” is closing its activities

The SGLF project is coming to an end in July 2019. After almost two years of activities the consortium from Greece, Spain and Italy has released the intellectual outputs of the project and they are available on the project website.

In particular, it is possible to watch the videos produced by the project on e-commerce, the Internet, Social media and the Cloud.

 

Eleni Maloupa, coordinator of the project, Director of the Institute of Plant Breeding and Genetic Resources (Hellenic Agricultural Organization), was coordinating the scientific activities of the SGLF project and Dimitris Fotakis was the project manager during the 23 months of implementation.

 

An important part of the project implementation were the pilot training courses for farmers which focused on medicinal and aromatic plants. The training was part of the certification process of professionals, on production, processing and packaging of superfoods and aromatic /medicinal herbs. The certification process took place in all participant countries. Professionals were trained to use certified methodologies while cultivating, collecting, processing or packaging of super-foods and/or aromatic-medicinal herbs. These certification training sessions were carried out in groups of 15 members for 80 hours per country. In Italy the training course was held at Fontana Murata, an area in Sicily historically devoted to the cultivation of ancient grains, now considered superfoods for their nutritional and low-gluten properties.

SuperGREENLABELFoods has implemented the following activities:

 

• Scientific desk research on skills and regulation framework of cultivators of super foods and aromatic-medicinal herbs;
• Statistical analysis about the skills and training capacity of agriculturists and superfoods/ aromatic herbs processors;
• Identification of ICT skills during the agriculturists professional development
• Establishment of common certification policies and production on production, processing and packaging of super foods and / or aromatic herbs;
• Training activities to improve and certify competences and skills of the target involved by the project.

The SuperGREENLABELFoods project involves six partners from three different countries (Greece, Italy and Spain) and aims at providing innovative methodologies to people directly involved with cultivation, collection, production, packaging and promotion of super-foods, aromatic-medical herbs and forest fruits, in order to enhance their basic professional skills as their ICT skills, through vocational training activities, strengthening their competitiveness on the market together with their products.

 

The partners of the project are:

 

• Coordinator: Hellenic Agricultural Organisation Demeter (Greece);
• Fundación Empresa- Universidad Gallega (Spain);
• UAGN – Union de Agricultores y Ganaderos de Navarra (Spain);
• Centro per lo Sviluppo Creativo “Danilo Dolci” (Italy);
