In the summer of 2021, Kislépték Egyesület organised the I. Short Food Supply Chain (REL) Expo in Gödöllő for the first time.

2022 brought new challenges in the field of supply chains. Due to the instability of value chains, producers are looking for alternative sales opportunities. In addition, a new social demand became visible, as a result of which shopping communities and home delivery methods became the fastest growing short chains in Europe. The continuous challenges and changes encouraged us to organize the II. in 2022. REL Expo and Conference in Kaposvár, giving space for the actors of the local food system to meet and exchange opinions.
Visitors may learn about current trends, gain insight into the international and domestic state-of-art, the CAP support opportunities and learn about the current regulations at the conference. Furthermore, we offer business meeting opportunities and professional consultations for the SFSC actors (producers, market organizers, rural developers, basket communities, suppliers, consultants, restaurants and traders using local products, municipalities, LEADER organizations, consultants, gardeners), in the form of a trade exhibition and professional forum.
This event also serves as an expo where we provide opportunity to introduce farmers and their products as well as innovative tools and solutions for small farmers.
