A pig meat producing short supply chain developed a marketing strategy to strengthen its brand and increase demand for its high-quality products.

Developing a Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) in the Netherlands as an alternative to formal certification for small producers operating in short supply chains.

Short supply chain success stories catalysed by COVID-19 crises in Spanish islands.

A European Innovation Partnership (EIP) operational group established a network of farm incubators in Spain to support young farmers who do not have previous family connections or a background in farming.

This project combined state-of-the-art sensoring techniques and models with a participatory monitoring process with farmers and water authorities to create a common understanding of the main local challenges and possible solutions to enhance water quality. In addition, the process empowered individual farmers to become equal partners with water authorities as they gained knowledge and access to data. Problems with water management differ between regions, but the process of jointly collecting, learning from and acting on data can be applied across regions.
 

An EIP Operational Group was set up to strengthen the food chain and create short distribution channels for small and medium farms in the Madrid region.

Setting up collaborative water system measures and a governance approach to increase self-sufficiency of freshwater availability for agriculture.
