The VALUMICS project hosted a final conference event on 21 September 2021 to present overall key results and open further dialogue on the findings and possible policy directed implications. Key findings from the VALUMICS project on the functioning of European food value chains and their impacts on more sustainable, resilient, fairer, and transparent food system were presented at the final conference.
The functioning of food value chains entails a complex organisation from farm to fork which is characterised by various governance forms and externalities which have shaped the overall food system. VALUMICS explored the interconnections of the case studies selected (wheat, dairy, beef, salmon and tomato) and results demonstrated the need to view the food system as a whole.

VALUMICS is a new Horizon 2020 research project, with the descriptive title: Understanding Food Value Chains and Network Dynamics. The work aims to enhance understanding about food system network dynamics, by exploring causal relationships in selected supply chains, value chains and decision chains, which influence core issues like sustainability, integrity and resilience of food systems and thus affect consumers, farmers and other stakeholders depending on future provision of wholesome foods
