04.10.2020In the Spotlight: Local Food and Local Producers in North Savo and Kuopio region
Local Food Week (5 - 9 Oct, 2020) shocases North Savo's local producers and local food in schools and educational institutions i.e. among the consumers of the future. Many of the school kitchens, staff & student restaurants in the region have special local food menus during the week and they take extra care to use local produce in the teaching kitchens as well as in lunch restaurants. The week is part of a project concentrating on making local food known and valued in the region called "Savolaisuus on makuasia" (Savonian is a matter of taste).
Local Food Week is organised together by the following Savolaisuus on makuasia project partners:
- Savon ammattiopisto www.sakky.fi
- Ylä-Savon ammattiopisto www.ysao.fi
- Palvelualan Opisto Kuopio www.paok.fi
- Savonia-ammattikorkeakoulu www.savonia.fi
