Objective General objective of the project is to integrate advancement in scientific knowledge about the impact of food chains with application of knowledge to practice to increase food chains sustainability through public policies and private strategies. This general objective will be pursued through the following specific objectives:• To develop and validate a ‘performance criteria matrix’ for assessment and comparison of food chains operating at a range of geographical scales through analysis of how food chain impacts are communicated in different spheres of society.• To build a database of quantifiable indicators of impact and a set of 20 case studies aimed at understanding how impacts are generated within specific food chains.• To advance knowledge on methodological problems and trade-offs arising when measuring and comparing the impact of food chains within and between sectors.• To assess how performance is perceived by stakeholders in different national contexts through participatory assessment and multicriteria analysis of the different typologies of food chains.• To assess the actual and potential role of public and private policies addressing food chains and to turn assessment into policy recommendations.• To build a network that turns the advancement of scientific knowledge into decision making tools for domestic and public consumers, producers, citizens, scientists, policy makers, civil society organizations.The project will be developed around the following assumptions:• Costs and benefits analysis needs methodological update: for this reason the broader concept of performance is used• The performance of food chains has multiple dimensions (economic, social, environmental, health, ethical)• To turn knowledge into practice a demand-driven approach is necessary, focusing on how food choice affects the five dimensions of impactThe complexity of impacts of food chains requires plurality of methods and transdisciplinarity Fields of science social sciencespolitical sciencespolitical policiespublic policiesnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdatabasessocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical policiescivil society Programme(s) FP7-KBBE - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Topic(s) KBBE.2012.2.5-03 - A comparative analysis of global versus local food supply systems Call for proposal FP7-KBBE-2012-6-singlestage See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY Address Droevendaalsesteeg 4 6708 PB Wageningen Netherlands See on map Region Oost-Nederland Gelderland Veluwe Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Susan Van Der Giessen (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution No data Participants (14) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all FONDAZIONE ITALIANA PER LA RICERCAIN AGRICOLTURA BIOLOGICA E BIODINAMICA Italy EU contribution € 268 944,00 Address Via pio molajoni 76 00159 Roma See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Luca Colombo (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data CITY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON United Kingdom EU contribution € 228 585,20 Address Northampton square EC1V 0HB London See on map Region London Inner London — East Haringey and Islington Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Claudia Kalay (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data INSTITUT NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE POUR L'AGRICULTURE, L'ALIMENTATION ET L'ENVIRONNEMENT France EU contribution € 187 670,00 Address 147 rue de l'universite 75007 Paris See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Christine Tailleferie (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Other funding No data KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN Belgium EU contribution € 339 820,00 Address Oude markt 13 3000 Leuven See on map Region Vlaams Gewest Prov.
