Descripción
The northwest region of Azerbaijan lends itself to agroand food tourism thanks to its cuisine, which has been recognized for its long and unique history. This type of tourism has the potential to create jobs and generate income for rural producers on the region, who have knowledge of local ingredients, recipes and products, but lack the communication mechanisms, producer buyer networks, management skills, food safety knowledge and access to markets and financing that are required to start and run a business. This project aimed to assist small and medium-scale farmers and producers in the Balakan, Gakhand Zagatalarayons in overcoming these challenges by: (i) introducing the concept of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) and Geographical Indications (GIs); (ii) establishing inclusive and efficient agrifood systems for six selected products (honey and other beekeeping products, dried meat, food products made of or containing hazelnuts, dried persimmon, persimmon molasses, and jams, including walnut jam); (iii) strengthening producer-buyer linkages and promoting agroand food tourism in the region; and (iv) establishing and piloting a community-driven system for agricultural advisory services (AAS).
