Ποια ήταν η πρόκληση/ πρόβλημα που αντιμετωπίστηκε?

The Corona crisis clearly showed that many citizens are interested in working on farms, helping farmers in various ways. This project involves a group of farmers who are open to cooperation with citizens and departs from their own needs, as well as the more general needs of the industry to involve citizens – paid and unpaid – in farming activities.

Closer cooperation between farmers and citizens in various forms (volunteering, care, educational practice, paid work, citizen involvement, Δημοσιες ΥΠΗΡΕΣΙΕΣ) indeed has many different potentials. Ωστόσο, this potential is largely untapped.

The project will reduce barriers to citizen participation and aims to promote innovative forms of cooperation. Re-evaluating volunteering and employment statutes based on legal expertise. What conditions need to be taken into account, such as competition rules, how governments can become facilitators of farmer-citizen co-creation food strategies.
