Wild- or non-cultivated or non-fished products of forests and seas (wild berries, mushrooms, herbs, seaweed, mussels, down feathers, wild bird eggs, etc.) are materials of big commercial potential and high regional cultural value. Despite their importance, management of, for example, harvesting and further value chains is rather rudimentary. The lack of this governace complicates the development of livelihoods relying on wild products. Governance of wild products can be based on 1) Rule of law or 2) Common governance in which the stakeholders create rules and practices for utilization of wild products. Currently, common governance (bottom-up concept) is the only possible option as national legislations take very little stand on, for example, wild berries utilized by everyman´s rights. On the other hand, due to challenges of NPA region like low population density and low accessability, practical problems of common governance are obvious. However, this obstacle can be tackled by digitalization. Digital information and communication technologies – especially mobile ones - offer excellent tools for networking also in sparsely populated areas. In addition, mobile positioning properties of mobile devices offer another tool to manage geographical information about wild product harvests, provenance and quality attributes connected to origin of wild products. Although the first steps of digitalization of wild product governance have already been taken, there is a lot to be done to achieve a digital environment which truly supports wild product governance. However, such a step must be taken to realize the underutilized financial and cultural potential of wild products. Preparatory project (NPA/Bridging call dl. 8.10.2021) includes stakeholder mapping and creation of the consortium, feasibility study of the topics chosen and preparation of the main project application with participating areas and organisations. It is targeting S.O. 1. 2. (English)
