PEFMED aims to test the PEF-compliance distance-to-target in 9 testimonial MED agrofood clusters & supply chains upon a range of products.
Aims:
– Promote targeted systemic eco-innovation interventions to green the agrofood sector.
– Increase the market value of PEF-compliant productions and guide a mind change in the traditional agrofood productions model towards the PEF approach.
-Support the Smart Specialization Strategies (RIS3) goals related to innovation in agrofood and industrial production.
Results:
– Scenarios of intervention (technological and managerial actions) to improve the nine supply chains and clusters environmental footprints and the key social aspects with a territory based approach.
– Marketing strategy implementation to communicate the key environmental performance of the nine product chains through transparency, reliability and comparability.
– National roadmaps to extend the environmental footprint approach to new MED agrofood supply chains and clusters and to favor SME innovation.
– Wiki web-platforms to facilitate fast creation, sharing and transfer of collaborative knowledge content in a highly accessible and visible manner.
– Knowledge vouchering and new eco-innovation services to be provided by agrofood associations.
