Promoting Resilient and Sustainable Food Systems | Cranfield University
A recent study, conducted by Cranfield University ?in collaboration with other leading institutions, explores the potential of?Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs), networks connecting local food producers directly with consumers. The study breaks down SFSCs into four key stages:?food sourcing and production, processing, aggregation, and distribution.
SFSCs address growing consumer demand for sustainable, locally-sourced food while building resilience and reducing environmental impacts. They also empower small-scale producers and boost local economies. However, challenges such as?infrastructure gaps, regulatory hurdles, and market dynamics?need to be addressed to unlock their full potential.
This research provides valuable guidance for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders to support SFSC adoption and foster a sustainable, community-focused food system.
