Strengthening European Food Chain Sustainability by Quality and Procurement Policy

Descrizione del progetto

DE EN ES FR IT PL

Un sostegno alla qualità degli alimenti e alle catene di approvvigionamento

Migliorare gli schemi di qualità alimentare (SQA), gli appalti alimentari del settore pubblico (PSFP, public sector food procurement) e le filiere alimentari corte (SFSC, short food supply chain) in Europa è una sfida urgente. Per affrontare questo problema, è nato il progetto Strength2Food, finanziato dall’UE, con l’obiettivo di migliorare l’efficacia di questi componenti vitali attraverso la ricerca, l’innovazione e le dimostrazioni. Guidato da un consorzio di 30 partner provenienti da 11 paesi dell’UE e da 4 paesi terzi, Strength2Food quantifica gli impatti economici, ambientali e sociali di SQA, PSFP ed SFSC. Valuta l’influenza delle politiche dei PSFP sull’alimentazione scolastica. Attraverso iniziative pilota e scambio di conoscenze, questo progetto intende promuovere un sistema alimentare europeo sostenibile e resiliente. Sulla base dei risultati ottenuti, Strength2Food condurrà sei iniziative pilota rivolte alle regioni meno sviluppate e in transizione.

Obiettivo

Strength2Food is a 5-year, €6.9 million project to improve the effectiveness of EU food quality schemes (FQS), public sector food procurement (PSFP) and to stimulate Short Food Supply Chains (SFSC) through research, innovation and demonstration activities. Our 30-partner consortium representing 11 EU and 4 non-EU countries combines leading academic, communication, SME and stakeholder organisations to ensure a multi-actor approach. It will undertake case study-based quantitative research to measure economic, environmental and social impacts of FQS, PSFP and SFSC. The impact of PSFP policies on balanced nutrition in schools will also be assessed. Primary research will be complemented by advanced econometric analysis of existing datasets to determine impacts of FQS and SFSC participation on farm performance and survival, as well as understand price transmission and trade patterns. Consumer knowledge, confidence in, valuation and use of FQS labels and products will be assessed via cross-national survey, ethnographic and virtual supermarket-based research. Lessons from the research will be applied and verified in 6 pilot initiatives, focusing on less-developed and transition regions. These initiatives bring together academic and non-academic stakeholder partners in action research. The six pilot actions are: a school meals initiative to improve the nutritional outcomes and economic benefits for local agri-food producers; in-store trials (undertaken with a grocery retailer) to upscale sales of local produce; a scheme to stimulate a sustainable SFSC that adds value to the fishing community; and pilot actions to expand regional food labelling; increase sales of FQS products in non-traditional markers; and improve returns to local producers at food fairs and farmers’ markets (via a smartphone app). Project impact will be maximised through a knowledge exchange platform, hybrid forums, school educational resources, a Massive Open Online Course and practitioner recommendations.
