The products have characteristics which allow their adaptation and adjustment to different geographic realities.

2. Partnership: the partnership integrate the proposal, predict a successful dissemination because:

– The proposed activities of transfer constitute a solution for the problems sensed in the countries where the partnership are from;

conception of the original product (EPRALIMA, ACIAB, e ESTG) and in it’s process of transfer in a national level (EPRALIMA, ACIAB, ESTG and PREVIFORM). These entities will allow the transfer of knowledge needed for the transfer process.

2. Incorporators and disseminators entities: are the partner’s entities that will obtain the products (by the producer entity), and that will transfer these products to their organizational context.

They will also have a disseminator role, because they already have a prestige and capacity in their relation with the economic and social environment in their implementation area. For the dissemination of the project, these partners, inside their environment, will identify potential entities for the dissemination of the products.

The incorporators/disseminators entities are: PROMAS, Federation of Consumers in Bulgaria, TTZ OZ Pez, ADEXA. All these partners will participate on crucial stages of the activities of the Project, knowing the products to after apply the disseminating activities.

partners, in order to make them efficient, the implication of the partners on the activities of the Project is crucial, as well as its efficiency on the dissemination will be achieved, if the performers which will participate in the dissemination process, are involved in the all project, from the awareness actions, passing through the planning actions until the experimentation actions. The search of potential beneficiaries it will also be an important stage.

• The Project is based on a strategy of dissemination in two levels:

– the first level that reach directly the incorporators/disseminators partners level;

– the second level that will reach the final beneficiaries (for example, fabric/sell and food units), defined during the development of the project.

EXPECTED IMPACT• impact on authors/producers,

– It is expected that the authors/producer of the IN_Food Quality products become a reference widely recognized by the agro-food, regarding FSH.

– the skills (organizational and individual), acquired during the project can be used in a much more efficient way, since they are more consolidated on the agents and organizations, allowing the solidification of the initiative of the institutions relatively to the practices of continuous training and implementation of FSH.

alimentar– The implementation of the stamp “Alimento Seguro” will be

accompanied of information, placed in sites with visibility, in their own establishment, where the requisites needed are indicated, for the recognition through the “Alimento Seguro”.

– The final consumers are involved in two ways:

• On one hand, the public visibility of the requisites will allow to give consciousness the consumers of the implications of the FSH in the public health, and on the logistic of a company on the food industry.
