Description du projet
Un effort collectif pour faire progresser l’approche «de la ferme à la table»
Les chaînes d’approvisionnement alimentaire courtes (SFSC), dans lesquelles les produits agricoles parviennent au consommateur par l’intermédiaire d’un nombre limité d’opérateurs économiques, apparaissent comme l’une des approches de l’UE pour améliorer sa compétitivité dans ce secteur vital. Dans ce contexte, le projet COREnet, financé par l’UE, veut accroître l’efficacité du système SFSC dans tous les États membres de l’UE. À cette fin, il créera un conseil consultatif composé d’un florilège d’acteurs concernés afin de permettre l’échange de solutions pratiques et rentables pour améliorer les performances des SFSC. Une liste d’exemples de réussites de SFSC sera également créée afin d’encourager davantage les meilleures pratiques. Les travaux du projet faciliteront la transition vers des systèmes alimentaires plus inclusifs, résilients et durables.
Objectif
Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) or producer-consumer chains are supply chains involving a limited number of intermediaries between farmers and consumers, who are committed to cooperation, local economic development, and maintaining close geographical and social relations. In rebuilding post-Covid, SFSCs are being promoted by governments, civil society and consumer groups in many EU member states as a means for building more inclusive, resilient and sustainable food systems. But SFSC initiators, participants and promoters are confronted by a fragmented knowledge landscape, coupled with a lack of clarity as to essential skills and competencies in all phases from farm to fork. The COREnet project proposes to respond by supporting the systematic development of more effective SFSC advising, based on bringing together public, private and civic advisors through IT-enabled peer-to-peer learning and mutual support. This approach requires interacting with advisors, farmers, consumers and a more holistic approach aimed at helping SFSCs achieve not just a bigger market share, but a greener market impact. Project activities are concerned with (1) developing SFSC advisory capabilities based on a knowledge mapping and on-line listing of SFSC advisors from all EU27 in ways that enable the sharing and exchange of cost-effective practice solutions that improve SFSC social, economic and environmental performance and increase their impact in the food value chain; (2) preparing learning resources in the form of a network of 30 Golden Cases (exemplars of SFSC models that have achieved business success) and initiating 27 Lighthouse Projects (initiatives using Golden cases to introduce advisory services for improving SFSC performance with at least one in each of the EU-27); (3) establishing a pan-European peer-to-peer learning network for SFSC advisors and proposing a formal organizational solution that assures its sustainability and integration into the AKIS.
