To support traditional food SMEs, TRAFOON organized Training Workshops for SMEs in 12 European countries on five food categories (Vegetables & Mushrooms, Fish, Grain, Olives and Sweet Fruits) during 2015 and 2016. Target groups for the Workshops were mainly SMEs but also food industry, SME associations and food researchers. These training workshops aimed at improving communication and transfer of innovations between research and food SMEs. Each training workshop addressed the requirements/gaps/shortfalls of SMEs which were identified during the first year of TRAFOON project and included trainings on technical innovations which are specific to the traditional foods category, as well as generic topics on food processing, food packaging, food safety, food quality and stabilization of processing protocols, marketing, legal issues, European food law, IPR, certification and labelling.
