– Salmon to fillet case study-
The full report will be available soon...
Read the exciting first project results
The report provides a framework that categorises the different European Union (EU) policies, laws and governance actions identified as impacting upon food value chains in the defined areas of: fairer trading practices, food integrity (food safety and authenticity), and sustainability collaborations along food value chains

Future Scenario Workshop
Towards a sustainable European Food System: implications for Food Value Chains?
The stakeholder workshop took place in Brussels, Belgium 19 November 2019. The purpose of the workshop was to introduce the VALUMICS Value Chain Scenarios. The stakeholders were presented with the question: "How could / should European food value chains (FVC) be transformed in terms of their structure, governance, business models, etc., to accompany a transition towards a truly sustainable, fairer and more resilient European food system?"
VALUMICS Stakeholder Workshop
IDDRI, France, 17/09/19
In the VALUMICS project, IDDRI works at the interface between multiple work packages, while focusing on the wheat-to-bread and dairy-to-milk supply chains. In line with its WP8 activities (scenario development), IDDRI organized a workshop on 17 September 2019 which gathered
50 stakeholders from the French food and agricultural sector.
In the VALUMICS project, IDDRI works at the interface between multiple work packages, while focusing on the wheat-to-bread and dairy-to-milk supply chains. In line with its WP8 activities (scenario development), IDDRI organized a workshop on 17 September 2019 which gathered
50 stakeholders from the French food and agricultural sector.
The objective of this workshop was two-fold:
1- Develop hypotheses on the potential transformations of the wheat-to-bread and dairy-to-milk supply chains in various contexts (civil society-led to market-led scenarios) in order to analyse their impact on jobs and revenues. To this end, the key parameters addressed included: production systems, product mix and the agri-food industry network.
2- Identify policy options to support sustainable, fair and resilient food value chains
Regional Wheat to Bread Case Study Workshop
Paris, France 13.11.2018
The main objective of the workshop was to characterize current dynamics in the wheat sector and value chain in the Ile de France region and identify the main issues to strengthen the sustainability of the sector
National stakeholder Interest Network
Oslo, 19th September 2018
The main objective of the workshop was to discuss the definitions of sustainability, resilience and integrity in context of different food value chains and understand how these are measured in these value chains.
The discussion rounds during the workshop were aimed on defining key indicators that can be used to measure the performance of Norwegian food value chains with respect to
sustainability, integrity and resilience. The discussions gave a better understanding of the food industry's measures to improve the current state of food value chains and tackle the challenges connected to these three priority areas.
Regional Dairy Stakeholder Workshop
Trévarez, France 26.06.2018
The main objective of the workshop was to characterise current dynamics in the dairy sector and identify the main issues to strengthen the sustainability of the sector. The programme included presentation of preliminary results by the IDDRI-VALUMICS team (30 minutes) followed by discussions.
Section One: Income maintenance / resilience
The discussions were divided into the three topics:
1. How long will Europe be able to contribute around €20,000 per Breton farm? Indeed, in livestock farming: a large part of the income is made up of CAP aid, how can income be maintained in the context of a downward trend in aid?
2. Concerning public aid: will those who strengthen their position in productivity and competition really be able to be paid by the market? (In so far as this is not currently the case since, they are very largely dependent on public subsidies).
3. Concerning insurance: for some participants, this is already "a first step towards reducing public aid to private insurance companies", which would be a different form of governance if it were to take the form of a collectively managed mutual fund (but this is not the advanced model)
VALUMICS Aquaculture Stakeholder Workshop
Stakeholder co-creation to understand the big picture
Read the full newsletter from the Aquaculture Stakeholder Workshop held in Aalesund Norway June 2019. The aim of the workshop was to present key VALUMICS findings to the salmon industry stakeholders and discuss solutions for better understanding of the value chain dynamics in order to respond to future challenges in a robust manner
