Bio-Region Market

This project to create a local market, which Ruris worked on, arose from the need to create a public space to stimulate the local economy, for the benefit of local farmers, livestock keepers, food producers and artisans, where they could sell their products directly.

This "anchor space" for the local economy was organised according to the type of products to be sold: it has one section devoted exclusively to crafts (food products, wood and cork, other arts and crafts) and another devoted to agri-food and fresh produce (olive oil, cereals, fruit and vegetables, milk and dairy products, wine, etc.).

Besides the local market element, this area brought together two further functions:

• a space for presenting and/or launching local products, holding tastings, showcooking events and other promotion and awareness-raising activities;
• an information space about the project's region, covering its local resources and thermal tourism - a Welcome Center.

Ruris prepared the application through the following actions:

• Verification that the application met the eligibility conditions set out in the call, in order to establish its merit;
• Preparation of the descriptive report;
• Preparation of the physical and financial schedule;
• Support in preparing the documentation and other mandatory elements of the application;
• Completion of the application form;
• Support in preparing any additional clarifications that may be requested during the appraisal and decision on applications;
• Preparation and delivery of the application dossier in digital format.
