AgriCoopValue is a training project aiming to create a favorable framework for the application of a unified accounting system for agri-food cooperatives in EU.
The multiplier event of @CONFAGRIcultura will be held in Lisbon, on September 29th, with several speakers and registered participants from #cooperatives, Universities, Administration and Social Economy organizations. #socialaccounting#socialvalue#agrifood#Erasmus
Over 100 delegates attended conference on monetising #sociavalue of #cooperative. The event was in Spain hosted by @CoopsAGACA. Approaches to subsectors & by geographical spread were explored, allowing for debate & agreement on standardised model that could be used across Europe.
Coming Soon!

In 2014 scientists found that soil carbon sequestration in olive groves provides net #socialvalue & can be cheap way to combat climate change buff.ly/3CFHbLr
It goes to show social value takes so many forms that a unified calculating system, like @ValueCoop, is needed.
Pilot training held in Latvia last week. Among the participants 6 were representatives of #cooperatives. The training included theory & practical tasks to understand principles in monetizing #socialvalue & how it can be further developed, more standardized, made simpler.
Public procurement can support Social Economy. So far UE doesn't mandate #socialvalue as a criteria to award contracts, yet some countries include it in the law, showing how relevant it is finding out how to measure it. Learn EU's recommendations: bit.ly/3eK6wen#AGRRA
We aim to learn, in money, what #coops do outside their business. In Galicia @CoopsAGACA conducts interviews with cooperatives like #Postoiro, who brought back a native onion variant & collaborates with local highschool taking in students as interns. #cooperatives#socialvalue
Our Spanish partners continue to work. Besides the focus group held in July, at @CoopsAGACA, 10 stakeholders were identified and interviewed. @GEAccounting is working with those results to determine useful variables to measure the #socialvalue of #cooperatives. #AGRRA#Agrifood
On 27 July, @CoopsAGACA technicians & 8 Galician #cooperatives held a very interesting working group meeting & shared opinions on stakeholders identification, value variables & possible indicators that allow the subsequent quantification of #socialvalue generated. Stay tuned!
Future of food & agriculture is on the forefront again! One of greatest tech events,@Beyondexpo1, takes place in Thessaloniki, Greece & among themes to be discussed is digital transformation of #agriculture whereas a workshop on smart farming is also organised. #ErasmusPlus AGGRA
We are so happy @ValueCoop is based on needs expressed by EU. One of social targets to be achieved by 2030 is at least 60% of adults participating in training. Our #training#platform on #socialvalue will be made available soon! Follow us to keep updated! #agrifood#cooperatives
