The aim is to commit territories to a path of agro-ecological development that reconciles water resilience, food security and nutritional quality. The aim is to develop tools, approaches and territorial platforms that bring together all stakeholders in food systems, to promote food products identified as being of interest in terms of local economic, social, environmental and health issues, from production to processing and consumption. Experiences will be shared and capitalized on between the 4 countries, and the results will be communicated to the scientific, political and general public.
