A Horizon 2020 Project of the European Union

Call: H2020-SFS-2014-2

Background of the project

A good functioning of the European food system is key to deliver food and nutrition security for all Europeans. However, that system faces many economic, environmental, social, and cultural challenges. At the same time, farmers and other primary producers have opportunities due to socio-economic and technological developments that are not equally distributed throughout the European Union.

SUFISA aims to identify practices and policies that support the sustainability of primary producers in a context of complex policy requirements, market imperfections and globalization. Knowledge on market conditions and other driving forces exists but in a fragmented way: relevant producer groups and regions have not yet been analysed or framework conditions and driving forces have changed in the meantime. Moreover, little information is available on cross-linkages between various drivers and future opportunities. Threats will need to be integrated for an encompassing analysis.

 The work of the SUFISA project is based on a close cooperation with practitioners and stakeholders of the agricultural, fishery and food industry, policy makers and representatives of governmental and non-governmental organisations. The combination of theoretical approaches and multi-actor involvement has been the precondition for the identification of practices and policies aiming at addressing market failures that hinder farmers and fishermen to improve the sustainability of their activities.

Eberswalde University — represented by the unit ‘Policy and Markets in the Agri-Food-Sector’ — is leading the workpackage ‘Stakeholder involvement and dissemination’ (WP5) and contributing to the workpackages WP1 - WP4.
