COREnet and EU4Advice Joint Newsletter – June 2026
Author(s): COREnet and EU4Advice Consortiums
This is a joint newsletter from COREnet and EU4Advice, two European projects collaborating to strengthen advisory services for Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) across Europe. Local Food Advisors Journey 2026 is a shared programme offering webinars, trainings, practice abstracts, and videos to support advisors working with SFSCs. A key feature is Advisors Monday, a monthly one-hour online webinar held every third Monday at 10:00 CET. Focusing on EU4Advice specifically: The project has its own Advisors' Corner, a hub with essential documents, advisinar videos, presentations, and project materials for practitioners. The consortium recently gathered in Ireland for a Living Lab cross visit at Cloughjordan Ecovillage, a community where sustainability is embedded in daily life. EU4Advice ran an International Women's Campaign featuring two interviews: one with Sabine van Giesbergen (titled Roots, Rhythms & Real Work) and another with Nita van Dam, founder of Nimble, a venture promoting nature-inclusive, organic vegetable farming with fair pay for farmers. Practice Abstracts are now available on the EU4Advice website — short, actionable summaries that advisors can directly apply in their day-to-day work. Both projects are funded by the European Union.

Across Europe, short food supply chains are changing how food is produced, sold, and valued. They give farmers and producers a fairer deal, reconnect consumers with the source of their food, and strengthen communities through more sustainable local systems. To take this movement further, the Horizon Europe projects COREnet and EU4Advice are bringing together advisors and policymakers in the first European networks dedicated to SFSCs. These networks are more than platforms; they are spaces to connect, share, and shape the future of food in Europe. And we are inviting you to join.
