Deliverables

Documents, reports (2)

Conceptual framework for holistic sustainability and resilience analysis of multifunctional value chains

This framework will integrate farm and value chain performance metrics into a coherent set of LCA life cycle analysis and parallel metrics to holistically benchmark UCs and DVCs against industrialised crops and value chains

A framework for the analysis of current policy and governance of agrifood systems

We will review the main components of the European policy environment that has the potential to increase agricultural biodiversity We will identify policy windows in the broader policy framework cultivar and novel food registration nutrition trade procurement climate through studies looking at the impact of these policies on decisionmaking and will involve experts and stakeholders from selected case studies to assess the role of EU policy and implementation

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (3)

Fully mapped value chain actors for UCs and AURORA Farms

Value chains are complex systems which are constantly changing especially under conditions affected by unexpected eg pandemic situations This deliverable will deliver the mapping and analysis of how DVCs for UCs are managed across Europe using our AURORA Farms as case studies

Communication Plan, Communication Toolkit & RADIANT web-site

Communication guidelines eg editorial options for news and plans for the Consortium will be outlined and made available to ensure standardised use by the Consortium A website containing all information of the project and resources to be accessed will be delivered

Short animation clips and Video on UCs

A series of short animation clips 4 videos of one minute focusing on different aspects related to UCs directed at different interest groups cooking qualityclimate changeetc will be produced
