The aim of the programme is to deliver on-going support for the branding of products from sustainable farming, fishing and food production on the Dingle Peninsula/Corca Dhuibhne.
It will bring together artisan, micro, agricultural and small hospitality businesses so that collectively they can define the unique features of food on the peninsula, their historic and current stories and emerging vision. The training will be delivered by The Discovery Partnership on behalf of NEWKD.
Speaking at the virtual launch, NEWKD’s Board Member Pat O’Shea said, “This new training initiative is an opportunity to bring a diverse group of individuals together to further capture and define the unique food and drink features of the Dingle Peninsula /Corca Dhuibhne. I look forward to seeing how the training facilitates the development of a dynamic strategy which will serve to support a positive and sustainable long term food future for the community.”
Participation on the ‘Developing a Sustainable Regional Food Branding Strategy’ training programme is free but registration is required.
Whilst the initial sessions will be delivered online, it is anticipated that the latter half of the programme will include face to face training Covid-19 permitting.
