FAIRCHAIN

To address the shortcomings of long and short food value chains while capitalising on their advantages, FAIRCHAIN will focus on the development of intermediate food value chains.

This model displays characteristics of both short value chains (relocation and proximity between operators; shared social values and search for social cohesion; higher quality products) and long value chains (presence of several intermediaries; larger production volumes; improved logistics and distribution).

The FAIRCHAIN project is an Innovation Action funded by the Horizon 2020 framework programme that will run between November 2020 through to October 2024. It is one of the three project selected within the RUR-06-2020 call (“Innovative agri-food value chains: boosting sustainability-oriented competitiveness” topic, “Empowerment of rural areas, support to policies and rural innovation” part of the work programme).

Are you a stakeholder in the Food Supply Chain (FSC) and interested in:

• Creating a collaborative network to learn from others and find solutions for the hub in your own company?

• Using a co-creation process to shape innovations in your food value chain?

Based on the case studies within Fairchain, an online course was developed aimed at setting up a co-creation process that can also help your company. The course consists of several modules that you can start whenever you want. An inspiring process in which you learn from other real-life cases and apply it yourself within your own company. You can consult the free course here.
