The Short Supply Chain Knowledge and Innovation Network (SKIN) project website has gone live. The network is an EU Thematic Network focused on how we can reduce the number of steps in the food chain so that we both help consumers understand where their food comes from at the same time as helping primary producers (farmers and food processors) obtain a larger share of the final consumer value. The network which was launched in November 2016 has initial funding for three years to collate and disseminate best practices from across Europe. Collison and Associates are one of 20 partners in the network who will work with the food industry to promote short food chains.
