abstract = {This article presents a systematic review of innovative projects funded by EU Rural
Development Programs that were designed and implemented in rural areas of the European Union
to facilitate the territorialized production of foodstuffs and their sale through alternative networks.
On the basis of the results obtained in this review, we designed a model for the transfer of knowledge
to the local community in the Alpujarra Granadina (Granada, Spain) within the framework of the
LifeWatch project. This study uses two consecutive methodological approaches. We began by
developing a protocol for the systematic search and analysis of successful rural development projects
carried out in the European Union between 2007 and 2020. After that, we created a model for the
transfer of results using a participative methodological approach. The results of our analysis of the
group of projects selected for review show that the main innovations were made in different aspects
of the product, process, sales and distribution. These innovative ideas were implemented by rural
communities with a high degree of collective initiative and intelligence and could potentially be
replicated in other areas. The sample analyzed contains a wide array of novel, alternative formulas,
which are transversal to the projects, so provide significant contents that could be used to activate a
space for participation and debate, which could itself become fertile ground for the creation of new
projects. In conclusion, this study provides the stakeholders in rural areas, in particular farmers, with
a wide, systematically organized knowledge base that proposes solutions to shared challenges.},
