Last week on January 19th and 20th, the FoodLAND consortium met for the first time in Zanzibar Tanzania, for their third Annual Meeting.
Our representatives Freya Robinson and Thanasis Chantzaropoulos attended two full days of discussion, plenary and parallel sessions regarding the progress each partner has made so far in their respective country, innovations and results they have reached. Future activities within the FoodLAND framework have also been discussed and all partners have also underlined the value of meeting physically. On the agenda were various focused group activities and further discussion on the innovations that are being developed and tested in the partners countries and the upcoming validation activities within the Food Hubs.
