Geographical Indications are the topic for DG AGRI’s most recent episode of its Food for Europe podcast series. This highlights how GIs add value for farmers, producers and communities, as well as provide assurance to consumers.
Aceto balsamico di Modena is a typical product benefiting from a GI. Food for Europe team travelled to Modena to speak to a leading producer of this condiment about the opportunities and challenges associated with the GI system. Podcast content also features DG AGRI’s Head of Unit responsible for GIs talking about a new consolidated legislative proposal to update the way the system works. The European Parliament’s rapporteur on the dossier provides a further perspective on the GI proposal.
