Objectives of work package 5
- To identify the broad range of expectations for innovation in management practices and adapted breeds along the whole low-input and organic dairy farming supply chain (fork to farm)
- To assess the acceptability of novel strategies (developed in WP1, 2 and 3) along the whole supply chain given the differing expectations, with special consideration to consumer acceptance and preferences, and the sustainability of supply chain management practices
- To identify optimal strategies to enhance collaborative behaviours in dairy low-input and organic supply chains in order to introduce acceptable innovations enhancing competitiveness and sustainability along the whole supply chain.
