Discover FoodCoP: Connecting Rural Innovation Across Europe 🌱 Rural communities already play a vital role in shaping sustainable food systems, but they often face barriers in accessing networks, resources, and visibility. The FoodCoP project supports and connects Startup Villages—rural hubs where innovation and entrepreneurship drive local development. Through the FoodCoP platform, a dedicated Community of Practice, the project brings together entrepreneurs, researchers, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and co-create practical solutions. From workshops and hackathons to training sessions and shared resources, FoodCoP is helping rural areas grow stronger, greener, and more resilient. This twenty-four-month project is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme (GA 101182001) and coordinated by the Municipality of Fundão, with fourteen partners across nine countries. 🔗 Join the Community and help shape the future of rural innovation: https://www.platform-foodcop.eu/ #FoodCoP #StartupVillage #bioeconomy #innovation #rural #sustainability #FoodCoPplatform #FoodSystems #HorizonEU #EUGreenDeal #EUfunded
