ADVISINAR – NOVEMBER 2026

The next COREnet Advisinar will take place on Monday, 16 November 2026, as part of the Local Food Advisors’ Journey 2026.

The webinar will focus on “Fruit and vegetables – the easy-going alternative for SFSCs?”

Fruit and vegetables are at the heart of many short food supply chains, but in a highly competitive market, producers need smart strategies to stand out and make their business viable. The session will explore how fruit and vegetable farmers can position themselves, from subscription box schemes to processing and new direct sales concepts, and how moving further along the value chain can create new revenue opportunities and better margins.
