The first virtual training session has been addressed to FAMP, the organisation that will implement the project in Andalusia. 

Other topics dealt with during this training have been the methodological framework and technical criteria related to the different initiatives making up the Slow Food’s philosophy, such as the Ark of Taste, the Chef Alliance, the Presidia project, and the Slow-Food travels, which will inspire the work plan of MedSNAIL project. The life cycle assessment of the products selected in the project has also been presented, contributing this way to the mitigation of Climate Change.

These bilateral training meetings will be also held with the rest of partners in the following weeks, after which work fields in the areas selected by each partner will start.
