<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> The project will improve a local sustainability certification, “Hecho en Monteverde” (HEM). The certification will foster long-term economic resilience through circular and orange economies. The project made the current certification criteria more measurable, feasible, and relevant for food sector businesses. Thirty-three interviews with food businesses, applicants, HEM administrators, and associated organizations informed and reviewed revisions. The twenty-three new food sector criteria can model criteria revisions for other sectors and areas of concern. HEM needs to replicate this criteria revision process and improve application accessibility/marketing.</p>
