Short food supply chains occur when farmers sell their produce directly to consumers or with a minimum of intermediaries. They represent an alternative to conventional longer food chains where small farmers often have little bargaining power and consumers cannot trace the food to a known producer or local area.
The project aims to identify and address the needs of farming businesses with regards to direct marketing of produce, butchery skills, customer relationship management and end user requirements in order to secure long term, short supply chains.
In addition, this project will encourage the next generation of primary producers to develop their business skills and encourage self-sufficiency.
