The methodology will test 4 innovations in various contexts.
The innovations are grouped in WP3 – innovations with direct impact on value chain organization, in order to answer the key questions of WP3:
– do value chain innovations address sustainability consistently at the different stages of the food cycle?
– how to understand and compare short versus long supply chains relative to environmental, social and economic objectives?
– can high-technology efficiency be congruent with social inclusiveness?
– to what extent can new demands in the food system, e.g. catering, be conducive to structural sustainability changes?
