Promoting short and green distribution chains

Shortening the distance between the farmer and the consumer

Ljubljana is promoting organic and integrated production, processing of domestic and domesticated species and their seasonal use. This way we are reducing the use of fertilisers and plant protection products. By promoting direct sales at farms and market spaces in district authorities, we are shortening the distance between the farmer and the consumer. In cooperation with district authorities Črnuče, Posavje, Polje, Sostro, Golovec, Moste, Rudnik, Šentvid and Šmarna gora we set up new market spaces for selling local agricultural produce and products.

In 2016, Ljubljana Tourism in cooperation with the Park Hotel, the Union Hotel and the Celica Youth Hostel, the Gostilna dela restaurant, the Gostilna na gradu restaurant and the Druga violina restaurant, Ljubljana's farmers and the Jarina cooperative launched the »Green Supply Chains« project offering guests in accommodation facilities and restaurants dishes made with produce from local gardens in Ljubljana.
