This study stems from the request of AREPO member regions to analyse and assess the situation and needs of small and medium-sized Geographical Indications (GIs) and their producers at the EU level, with the aim to gain an in depth understanding of the context.
Specifically, the study will investigate the weaknesses and the difficulties that these GIs often face, identifying the main issues related to the sustainability of these productions and the eventual good practices developed, in order to elaborate policy recommendations.
