To foster the development of the local Catalan agri-food infrastructure network by encouraging public/private investment

It is necessary to structure and strengthen the local Catalan agri-food infrastructure network to allow micro and small enterprises to produce, prepare, transform and distribute their foods. This type of infrastructure has a supramunicipal impact and responsibility for it is incumbent on various administrations. Accordingly, all public and private organisations involved need to coordinate their efforts to promote these local agri-food facilities. In order to make determined progress along these lines, the Government of Catalonia must draw up a strategic local agri-food infrastructure plan in coordination with the remaining public administrations operating in the region. Beneficiary organisations (agri-food companies and their professional associations) should also take part in the process in order to map out the needs and get them involved in the investments needed for the resulting model.
