The main goal of the project is to increase food production in Västerbotten in collaboration with the actors. The project strengthens the companies by organizing concrete working and development meetings based on the challenges identified, e.g. financing solutions, pathways to business development, how to become a bidder, etc. The project also works to increase demand for locally produced food by paying attention to and informing about local food producers and by spreading knowledge about how the proportion of locally produced food can increase in the public kitchens. The project further contributes to the construction of long-term structures for the development of the food industry in Västerbotten. Project staff are connected to the municipalities' business offices in the Umeå region, Skellefteå region and inland. Region Västerbotten is the project owner and a coordinator is located there. Umeå and Skellefteå municipalities are partners.
