Problem situations related to
Covid-19, such as restrictions or temporary interruptions of work,
quarantine, restrictions on the number of people in stores or
restrictions on sales time, can lead to a change in shopping habits. The
result can be an oversupply of households leading to unequal
distribution, a temporary shortage of certain foods, and rising prices.
The challenge proposal aims to
eliminate the above-mentioned problem situations by supporting regional
primary producers and primary food processors (farmers, fruit and
vegetable growers, butchers, etc.), collecting information about their
products and making this information and products available to end
customers.
Conception:
One of the possible solutions is to
connect regional information about farmers and their available products
with various platforms for trading in these products (stone shop,
e-shop, purchase from the yard). The Atlas of the Best Practices will be
used as the basic technological platform, on the basis of which a pilot
prototype of the Atlas of Regional Specialties will be created.
The Atlas of Regional Specialties
will present regional information on individual farms, but also on
related events and other regional attractions. The Atlas of Regional
Specialties will be connected with a local e-shop focused on the sale of
regional products – https://sumavaprodukt.regionalnispeciality.cz/.
Also other points of sale will be listed within the Atlas of Regional
Specialties – especially direct sales from the yard of individual farms,
or stone shops with regional products. As part of the implementation,
data on individual farms will be collected and updated – for this
purpose, a prototype of the web application Atlas Editor will be tested,
which enables the acquisition of information records about individual
farms. The challenge will use technological elements and procedures
based on the H2020 Enabling and Liverur projects.
Main goals of the challenge:
- How to connect the information base and e-shop
- Creation of data structure and method of data collection
- Various forms of promotion of individual farms and their products – links to social networks
- Involvement of local stakeholders in data collection
- Creating an extensive database
- Connection with existing databases
- Transfer of experience to other regions
