As part of the Research Programme for and on Regional Development (PSDR), the ‘INVENTER’ research-training-action project aimed to develop new forms of territorial governance of food systems. INVENTER studied how collective actions are coordinated and governance processes are managed, as well as the territorial configurations that encourage the emergence of innovative local initiatives. The deliverables produced support stakeholders in implementing collective actions, enabling them to better identify the arrangements to be put in place, lessons to be learned and new collective working methods.
