Dozens of civil society groups reunited at the end of 2014, to initiate discussions on short food chains. The purpose of the first meetings was to start drafting a suitable concept for short food chains policies. Among other topics discussed were the establishment of partnerships, initiatives and specific advantages of the short food chains, and the role of cooperation for development of the short food chains.

The result of the first two working meetings was a common position document on the Short Food Supply Chains in Romania. The creation of the document was facilitated by the Resource Centre for Solidary and Ethical Initiatives – CRIES Romania, one of the most active organizations in this topic.
