Verhogen duurzaamheid voedselverwerking in de keten (BO-43-112-006)

Increasing the sustainability of processing in agri-food chains is challenging due to the complexity of the food system, required chain actors interaction, and necessary favorable conditions in, among others, the market- and policy domains. This project aims 1) to map the food processing landscape in the Netherlands through identifying and typifying current process chain practices, 2) to identify the bottlenecks for increasing the sustainability of food process chains, 3) to develop an assessment framework and 4) with the use of the assessment framework, identify promising solutions (social organisational, business economic, technological) for a systemic transition to sustainable food processing in the chain.
