Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

The objective of Work Package 2 is to interconnect SFSC advisors from all EU countries, and integrate a new producer-consumer chain approach into EU AKIS, to support better valorisation and uptake of existing knowledge to foster and improve the sustainability of SFSCs,and empowering EU farmers and SMEs through capacity building.

Work Package 3 focuses on three main aspects: First, the development of innovative contents and tools to facilitate the upscaling of SFSC to increase the viability and sustainability of European farms and food SMEs. Second, elaboration of co-designed guidelines and tools for SFSC related advice and training material and, third, promoting cost-effective innovations that improve the economic, environmental and social performance of SFSC businesses.

Work Package 4 will involve relevant EU, national, regional and local policy-makers in the process of adaptation of the key regulatory frameworks, establishing an EU network, to improve the functioning and incidence of SFSC in Europe.

Work package 5 will support, invigorate, consolidate and perpetuate the networks and interactions established in the project through the use and augmentation of digital tools and multi-actor events. This includes establishing and maintaining several European networking and sharing platforms.
