Food Supply Chain Ecosystems for Sustainability

Food supply chain is under increased strain as a result of quick and dynamic changes in the environment, technologies, consumer behaviour, policymaking, and climate, particularly in terms of effectively managing food security, food surplus, food loss, and food waste. Food loss and waste occur along the supply chain as follow: 23% in the production phase, 16% in the processing phase (handling and storage included), 9% in the distribution phase, 52% in the distribution phase. Therefore, as called for by the Farm to Fork Strategy, the Commission will propose legally binding targets to reduce food waste across the EU, by end 2023, in order to meet the SDG 12.3 target to halve per capita food waste at the retail and consumer level by 2030, and reduce food losses along the food production and supply chains. One of the main problems of the food industry is the lack of a rapid flow of information exchange between the different phases of the supply chain which are very often categorically divided even if they are strictly interconnected.

The four stages of the supply chain are production, processing, distribution and consumption. The FOOD CHASE project develops a reference framework at European Union level for vocational skills related to the reduction of food loss and food waste in the food industry. Within the project, the learning outcomes of the FOOD CHASE Competence Framework is used for the creation of curricula that will create the innovative professional figure of the Farm to Fork Expert. The knowledge and experience acquired by this professional figure is used to renew the knowledge in each ecosystem and partner country, thus ensuring sustainability and circularity of the model.
