Advisinar: Digitalisation in Short Food Supply Chains

At the next EU4Advice Advisinar, we will discuss the growing role of digitalisation in Short Food Supply Chains (SFSC), bringing together practitioners and experts to share experiences, tools, and practical insights. With the growing influence of digital transformation in the agri-food sector, the question of how to successfully incorporate technology into short supply chains has become a crucial issue among farmers, advisors, and food system actors alike.

Three different perspectives will be addressed during the session:

• The former, presented by Jorge Molero, will take the attendees through the key points that need to be considered before starting a digitalisation process: helping the participants evaluate how ready they are and how to avoid the most common pitfalls.
• The second will explore a concrete example, presented by Alejandro Wonenburger, in terms of how digital tools can be implemented in real-life contexts of SFSC.
• The third presentation will introduce Open Food Network, an open-source platform that is designed to help support local and sustainable food systems by connecting producers, distributors, and consumers through transparent and collaborative digital infrastructure.

The Advisinar is a valuable experience where agricultural advisors and SFSC practitioners can learn from real-life experiences and discover practical digital solutions across Europe.

Being only slightly acquainted with digitalisation, or rather seeking to gain a more in-depth understanding of the topic, this session has something to offer.
