AREPO is driven by a vision of Geographical Indications (GIs) as tools for rural development and territorial planning. We have a long experience in the protection and valorisation of agricultural and agri-food GIs. Likewise, we believe that GIs for non-agricultural products could contribute to the growth and development of local territories.

What they argued
