NoAware of the difficulties, we try to "build from below" a new path in the field of home crafts with full awareness that the natural resources and agri-food culture of Crete mark a unique heritage which through the home-based process of processing can function as response to the agri-food and economic impasses of the time.
The creation of the Network, aiming at the strengthening of its members and in general of the Craft System of Crete, is a coordinated common expression that comes to expand both the "visibility" of the craft products and their areas of origin, "building" on an identity with many values.
We decided to proceed by participating in the creation of the network with a sense of responsibility as an active society should be characterized, wanting to express with passion and love what we do and to transmit it to others (co-producers, visitors, consumers, etc.). And all this with terms and practices that minimize the impact on the environment, that promote responsibility in the management of resources and data that integrate our products.
We seek to contribute "to building another nutritional model" with characteristics of self-sufficiency, social and environmental balance, ie an agri-food system that protects producers, consumers, workers and of course the land itself.
