That presupposes marketing structures that bring together farmers, processors, wholesalers and retailers, and consumers who wish to co-shape in this sense — in a regional round. In contrast to industry, agriculture is oriented toward regional economy. In accordance with its conditions of production, it produces in all its diversity everywhere where people live and where these conditions permit. It is therefore only natural that the shortest path from producer to consumer is the least costly and at the same time the most quality-preserving.
