Practice Abstracat #13: Horta-Cuina: Farmer Economic Stability Through School Catering Partnerships

Small and medium-scale agroecological farmers in Valencia's L'Horta region struggle to access stable markets and fair prices.  Traditional direct sales lack volume and regularity for economic stability, while school canteens rely on long supply chains. Horta Cuina Agricultural Transformation Society (SAT) bridges this gap, connecting 18 agroecological producers across 160 certified hectares directly with school catering services through cooperative organization and transparent pricin.
