The creation, development, and growth of Kos Locally Grown plays a vital role in preserving the agricultural landscape and maintaining the livelihoods of local farmers.<\/p><p>Our focus at Kos Locally Grown is to support local products and help farmers and producers to switch to more sustainable and ecological practices using new technologies by providing them with the right training. Through our efforts, we aim to strengthen the local economy, promote environmental sustainability, and preserve the unique agricultural heritage of our beloved island.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba8cd0e elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba8cd0e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7b495e93\" data-id=\"7b495e93\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47b52e47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"47b52e47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How it all started...<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c683669 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c683669\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Back to 2021 when a group of students and teachers from the 2nd Lyceum of Kos embarked on an investigation into sustainable development within the ERASMUS+ program framework, European Student for Sustainability. During their research, they recognized the pivotal role of supporting local produce in achieving sustainable development goals. This realisation led to the creation of Kos Locally Grown in November 2021 and was officially launched in April 2022. In collaboration with the Agricultural Association of Kos, which represents small local farms, they designed the Kos Locally Grown logo to symbolize and promote the local products of Kos.<\/p><p>With limited funds and extensive volunteer work, Kos Locally Grown has operated as a pilot for more than a year and has achieved several of the key objectives set.\u00a0These included developing a fully functional website, establishing a strong presence on social media platforms and Google, and printing the QR code logo on over 50,000 items, from product stickers and price tags to restaurant menus and t-shirts. In addition, the brand&#8217;s presence was successfully expanded to both small local markets and large supermarkets, as well as producer kiosks, local business outlets and the municipal market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element

promotes local products supporting the local economy and community, as well as the sustainable development of Kos.<\/p><p>The logo of Kos Locally Grown is accompanied by a QR code which redirects the user to the koslocallygrown.gr website. On our website, apart from information on local products and the benefits of their preference, a user can find local businesses that produce or sell local products and ways to contact and visit them. Thus, creating a network between businesses that produce, sell. This makes local products more easily accessible to anyone who wants to find, taste, and buy them.<\/p><p>Apart from the growth we want to achieve in the promotion and distribution of local products for consumption, we have some other big and important goals that you can see
